Summary:

"The second edition of Biomechanics: A Case-Based Approach focuses on the comprehension, retention, and application of the core concepts of biomechanics using problem-based learning strategies. Relevant and realistic problems provide students with the opportunity to associate what they're learning in class to real-life applications in the field"-- Provided by publisher.
