Functional Data Analysis in Biomechanics A Concise Review of Core Techniques, Applications and Emerging Areas


Free Download Functional Data Analysis in Biomechanics: A Concise Review of Core Techniques, Applications and Emerging Areas by Edward Gunning , John Warmenhoven , Andrew J. Harrison , Norma Bargary
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 96 Pages | ISBN : 3031688619 | 25.6 MB
This book provides a concise discussion of fundamental functional data analysis (FDA) techniques for analysing biomechanical data, along with an up-to-date review of their applications. The core of the book covers smoothing, registration, visualisation, functional principal components analysis and functional regression, framed in the context of the challenges posed by biomechanical data and accompanied by an extensive case study and reproducible examples using R. This book proposes future directions based on recently published methodological advancements in FDA and emerging sources of data in biomechanics. This is a vibrant research area, at the intersection of applied statistics, or more generally, data science, and biomechanics and human movement research. This book serves as both a contextual literature review of FDA applications in biomechanics and as an introduction to FDA techniques for applied researchers. In particular, it provides a valuable resource for biomechanics researchers seeking to broaden or deepen their FDA knowledge.

Clinical Kinesiology and Biomechanics A Problem-Based Learning Approach (2024)


Free Download Clinical Kinesiology and Biomechanics: A Problem-Based Learning Approach by Gordon J. Alderink , Blake M. Ashby
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 486 Pages | ISBN : 3031253213 | 188.3 MB
This new textbook uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach for teaching the fundamentals of kinesiology and biomechanics to undergraduate and graduate students in the biomedical, rehabilitative, and exercise science fields. Case vignettes and problems for each major region of the body are presented – cervical spine, thoracic spine and rib cage, lumbar spine and pelvis, shoulder girdle, elbow/forearm, wrist, hand, hip, knee, and ankle/foot. For the cases on the spine and upper extremity, biomechanics of posture are included; for cases involving the hip, knee, and ankle/foot, an extensive study of gait analysis is also incorporated. These case vignettes are not preceded by chapters that provide foundational information. Rather, relevant anatomical, biomechanical, and other information needed to solve/explain each case are embedded in the relevant chapters presenting the clinical cases.
