Occupational biomechanics are concerned with physiological loads and stresses placed on the human body as a result of work-related tasks. By thoroughly examining and explaining the mechanics and anatomy of human movement, the text provides the reader with an understanding of such principles in order to permit the design of ergonomically "friendly" work routines, instruments, equipment, and environments. It describes the mechanical side of ergonomics.

This book was surprisingly difficult to extract information from. I found it a great challenge to read through a section and determine what the authors' intended message was. It is quite probably my least favorite textbook ever purchased.

By Randy Davenport

The book covers a wide range of topics from basic musculoskeletal structures and physiology to anthropometry data and biomechanical analysis of loading on tissues for various physical activities. Yet, the book is concise enough to be useful as a starter reading material for beginning biomechanists, and as a textbook for a graduate-level intro-biomechanics course. The book also covers ample topics on application of biomechanical principles to ergonomics and occupational health.
