Multiple Muscle Systems Biomechanics and Movement Organization

Multiple Muscle Systems Biomechanics and Movement Organization / edited by Jack M. Winters, Savio L-Y. Woo.

The picture on the front cover of this book depicts a young man pulling a fishnet, a task of practical relevance for many centuries. It is a complex task, involving load transmission throughout the body, intricate balance, and eye­ head-hand coordination. The quest toward understanding how we perfor...
