Introduction. It is now widely recognized that biomechanics plays an important role in the understanding of the fundamental principles of human movement; the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases; and the production of implements and tools that are related to human movement. To the best of our knowledge, the biomechanics books that have been published in the past decade mainly focus on a single subject, such as motor control, body structure and tissues, the musculoskeletal system, or neural control. As biomechanics has become an increasingly important subject in medicine and human movement science, and biomechanics research is published much more widely, it is now time to produce a definitive synthesis of contemporary theories and research on medicine and human movement related biomechanics. For this purpose, we edited the Handbook of Biomechanics and Human Movement Science, which can act as a comprehensive reference work that covers injury-related research, sports engineering, sensorimotor interaction issues, computational modelling and simulation, and other sports and human performance related studies. Moreover, this book was intended to be a handbook that will be purchased by libraries and institutions all over the world as a textbook or reference for students, teachers, and researchers in related subjects. The book is arranged in eight sections, each containing four to seven chapters, totalling 41 chapters. The first section is titled ‘Modelling and simulation of tissue load’. Under this title, David Lloyd and colleagues, Clark Dickerson, and Navid Arjmand and colleagues address issues of modelling and simulation of tissue load in the lower extremity, upper extremities, and human spine, respectively, using traditional mechanical methods. Wolfgang Schöllhorn and colleagues describe the artificial neural network (ANN) models for modelling and simulation of sports motions. Finally, Jason Tak-Man Cheung introduces the finite element modelling and simulation of the foot and ankle and its application. ...
