DESCRIPTION:
His books will be valued by professors and by students, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, active in sectors where the quantitative observation of human movement is of importanceThis is a book which would be useful on the shelves of libraries of institutions which teach or undertake projects in biomechanics of human movement in general and locomotion in particular." -Aurelio Cappozzo, Istituto Universitario di Scienze Motorie . "Dr. Vladimir Medved's endeavour is to be appreciated
The importance of measurements for the proper assessment of human locomotion is increasingly being recognized. Measurement of Human Locomotion provides an up-to-date description of the instrument systems used for measurement of: kinematics of human movement; kinetic quantities experienced by the human body in contact with the ground; and, myoelectric changes associated with locomotor activity.Physical principles behind the operation of various measurement systems are emphasized, as well as signal processing issues that must be addressed in order to obtain and use quantitative measurement variables in biomechanics. The book explains how measurement data are acquired, processed and presented to the user in the environment of a modern, computer-based laboratory. The purpose of Measurement of Human Locomotion is to provide a concise but comprehensive presentati
