Download or read book Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-05-24 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year workers' low-back, hand, and arm problems lead to time away from jobs and reduce the nation's economic productivity. The connection of these problems to workplace activities-from carrying boxes to lifting patients to pounding computer keyboards-is the subject of major disagreements among workers, employers, advocacy groups, and researchers. Musculoskeletal Disorders and the Workplace examines the scientific basis for connecting musculoskeletal disorders with the workplace, considering people, job tasks, and work environments. A multidisciplinary panel draws conclusions about the likelihood of causal links and the effectiveness of various intervention strategies. The panel also offers recommendations for what actions can be considered on the basis of current information and for closing information gaps. This book presents the latest information on the prevalence, incidence, and costs of musculoskeletal disorders and identifies factors that influence injury reporting. It reviews the broad scope of evidence: epidemiological studies of physical and psychosocial variables, basic biology, biomechanics, and physical and behavioral responses to stress. Given the magnitude of the problem-approximately 1 million people miss some work each year-and the current trends in workplace practices, this volume will be a must for advocates for workplace health, policy makers, employers, employees, medical professionals, engineers, lawyers, and labor officials.

Download or read book Skeletal Tissue Mechanics written by R. Bruce Martin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological properties of skeletal tissue or require mathematics beyond calculus. Time is taken to introduce basic mechanical and biological concepts, and the approaches used for some of the engineering analyses are purposefully limited. The book is an effective bridge between engineering, veterinary, biological and medical disciplines and will be welcomed by students and researchers in biomechanics, orthopedics, physical anthropology, zoology and veterinary science. This book also: Maximizes reader insights into the mechanical properties of bone, fatigue and fracture resistance of bone and mechanical adaptability of the skeleton Illustrates synovial joint mechanics and mechanical properties of ligaments and tendons in an easy-to-understand way Provides exercises at the end of each chapter

Download or read book Clinical Mechanics and Kinesiology written by Janice Kaye Loudon and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2013 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Mechanics and Kinesiology provides a solid foundation in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and athletic training so that students understand biomechanics and functional anatomy as they relate to both normal and abnormal movement. Written by active clinicians with more than 40 combined years of clinical and teaching experience, this text is also a practical reference for rehabilitation professionals working with a range of populations and pathologies. Taking a clinical approach not found in other texts, Clinical Mechanics and Kinesiology follows a logical progression from biomechanical and physiological concepts all the way to full-body movement patterns such as jumping and cutting.

Download or read book Synovial Joints written by Cyril Harry Barnett and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the obvious deficiencies in anatomical literature has been a critical up-to-date survey of the articular tissues along with the factors that are concerned in the mechanism of synovial joints. It is most appropriate that three senior anatomists, who have all long attained an international reputation on different aspects of synovial joint structure and function, should have now collaborated in the production of this intellectually stimulating monograph. The structure of individual joints and the movements at them are adequately considered in most standard text-books, but usually the story ends there except for brief, and frequently inadequate, notes on the main features of joint tissues. This text is divided into four sections and each of these has several chapters which, for the most part, are complete in themselves. In Section 1 there is a fairly detailed account of cartilage, synovial membrane, the fibrous capsule and ligaments and the intra-articular structures, with a separate chapter devoted to each of them. Each tissue is considered at all levels of investigation, ranging from the naked-eye to the electron microscopic and there is a full account of the chemical composition of synovial fluid. Section 2, which is entitled "The Biology of Joints", is concerned mainly with the nutrition and respiration of joint tissues and their growth and degeneration. Section 3 commences with a short chapter on the anatomical classification of joints. The classification of joints is a vexed question and it is not necessary to read between the lines to assess the author's opinion on some of the inadequacies of the Nomina Anatomica (1955, 1960). The reviewer agrees with the authors that a satisfactory nomenclature should be indicative of function as well as structure. Most of this third section is devoted to the mechanics of joints, and although this mathematical aspect of anatomy is approached in a simple manner it is obvious that the writer is not only a master of the geometry of articular surfaces but is also an anatomical teacher with a selective aptitude for leading from the simple to the complex. Section 4 is the shortest of the four sections but it contains a wealth of basic facts, some long established and others recently described, on joint movements and their co-ordination.

This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design of Artificial Human Joints & Organs is intended to present the basics of the normal systems and how, due to aging, diseases or trauma, body parts may need to be replaced with manmade materials. The movement of the body generates forces in various work situations and also internally at various joints, muscles and ligaments. It is essential to figure out the forces, moments, pressure etc to design replacements that manage these stresses without breaking down. The mechanical characterization of the hard and the soft tissues are presented systematically using the principles of solid mechanics. The viscoelastic properties of the tissue will also discussed. This text covers the design science and methodology from concept to blueprint to the final component being replaced. Each chapter will be a brief overview of various joint/organ replacement systems. Engineers working on artificial joints and organs, as well as students of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering are the main intended audience, however, the pedagogy is simple enough for those who are learning the subject for the first time.
