Reseñas

"a great overview, and a theoretical underpinning to clinical biomechanics."

"it would be a useful reference resource for many health departments"

"a brilliant textbook that assists the reader through a large, difficult topic"

“This book is a complete course comprising of fully integrated print and online components which bring quality animations to life.”




"This book is recommended for the library of any practitioner who has a strong interest in biomechanics and wishes to study further the concepts of biomechanics taking it to the next level."
