Özkaya N., Leger D., Goldsheyder D., Nordin M. Fundamentals of Biomechanics: Equilibrium, Motion, and Deformation

4th Edition. — Springer International Publishing, Switzerland, 2017. — 458 p. — ISBN: 3319447378Biomechanics is a discipline utilized by different groups of professionals. It is a required basic science for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, osteopaths, physiatrists, rheumatologists, physical and occupational therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and beyond. These medical and paramedical specialists usually do not have a strong mathematics and physics background. Biomechanics must be presented to these professionals in a rather nonmathematical way so that they may learn the concepts of mechanics without a rigorous mathematical approach.Force Vector
