Biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system is a subfield of biomechanics that examines the behavior of isolated tissues and structures. It is also concerned with the study of their interactions to produce motion functions and stability. The human musculoskeletal system is the organ system that allows humans to move by utilizing their muscular and skeletal systems. It gives support, mobility, shape and stability to the body. The musculoskeletal system is composed of muscles, tendons, joints, cartilage, ligaments, bones of the skeleton, and other connective tissue. These tissues are helpful in supporting and connecting organs and tissues together. The three primary functions of the musculoskeletal system are to protect vital organs, support the body and provide motion. This book unravels the recent studies on the biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to this area of study. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
