Accidental Injury Biomechanics and Prevention

The study of accidental injury lies at the interface between medical diagnosis and treatment, and research on biomechanical principles of tissue organization. This second edition, completely revised and judiciously expanded with a new chapter on lower extremity trauma, presents chapters written by widely recognized authorities in the field of human traumatic injury, and covers topics ranging from automobile restraint systems to cell and tissue biomechanics. This new edition will continue to interest a variety of scholars and professionals including physicians; biomechanical researchers; mechanical, biomedical and automotive engineers; as well as attorneys and jurists involved in accidental injury cases.Nahum, Alan is the author of 'Accidental Injury Biomechanics and Prevention', published 2001 under ISBN 9780387988207 and ISBN 0387988203.
