A deep understanding of human motion is essential for evaluating and improving physical performance. This book introduces the biomechanical principles underlying posture, gait, and joint function. It connects theory with clinical application, helping readers assess movement patterns and identify dysfunctions. Detailed diagrams and case examples clarify complex mechanics. Suitable for physiotherapy students, it bridges anatomy, physics, and rehabilitation in a practical format.
Mateo Sánchez is a movement scientist and physiotherapist with dual expertise in biomechanics and functional assessment. He currently teaches applied kinesiology and motion analysis at a leading South American university. His research includes gait dynamics, posture analysis, and musculoskeletal load distribution. Mateo has developed software-based movement screening tools and collaborates with engineers in designing wearable tech for rehab. He contributes to interdisciplinary forums on motion science and serves on editorial boards for journals in physical performance and injury prevention. His work emphasizes precision in movement-based rehabilitation.
