Biomechanics of Diarthrodial Joints Volume I

Biomechanics of Diarthrodial Joints Volume I / edited by Van C. Mow, Anthony Ratcliffe, Savio L-Y. Woo.

Historical folklore indicates that Asklepios (circa 900 BC), the fir̃t western doctor of ancient Greece, treated many patients with rheumatic diseases of 1 joints ,2. Later, Hippocrates (circa 400 BC), who claimed to have learned from Asklepios, used the term arthritis in reference to joint diseases...
