註釋This clinically oriented text focuses on biomechanics as it relates to spinal manipulative treatment, emphasising the applications to daily practice.Chapters cover basic mechanics, functional anatomy, mechanics of spinal manipulation, and the effects of spinal manipulation. A chapter of case studies illustrates the application of biomechanics to spinal manipulation.The first chapter contains an undergraduate level introduction to mechanics. Chapters 2 and 3 are concerned with the detailed functional anatomy of the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. Chapters 4 and 5 contain detailed and comprehensive accounts of the clinical biomechanics of spinal manipulation, and the physiological and neuromuscular effects produced by these manipulations, respectively. Chapter 6 concludes with a selected series of case studies taken directly from clinical practice.

Edited and authored by a team of well known individuals in the areas of biochemistry and functional anatomy of the spine

Provides scientific information on the mechanics of spinal manipulation, an area largely ignored in the current literature on this subject.

Case studies illustrate the application of biomechanics to clinical practice, demonstrating how abstract concepts are applied in real life situation

Review of basic principles underlying spinal manipulation ensures the reader has learned basic concepts before moving on to more complex areas

Many illustrations, inluding a variety of line drawings, photos, and radiographs, lend crucial visual support to the content material.
