The Mechanobiology and Mechanophysiology of Military-Related Injuries

Thisbook provides a state-of-the-art update, as well as perspectives on futuredirections of research and clinical applications in the implementation ofbiomechanical and biophysical experimental, theoretical and computationalmodels which are relevant to military medicine. Such experimental and modelingefforts are helpful, on the one hand, in understanding the aetiology,pathophysiology and dynamics of injury development and on the other hand inguiding the development of better equipment and protective gear or devices thatshould ultimately reduce the prevalence and incidence of injuries or lessentheir hazardous effects. The book is useful for military-oriented biomedicalengineers and medical physicists, as well as for military physiologists andother medical specialists who are interested in the science and technologyimplemented in modern investigations of military related injuries.

Summary

This
book provides a state-of-the-art update, as well as perspectives on future
directions of research and clinical applications in the implementation of
biomechanical and biophysical experimental, theoretical and computational
models which are relevant to military medicine. Such experimental and modeling
efforts are helpful, on the one hand, in understanding the aetiology,
pathophysiology and dynamics of injury development and on the other hand in
guiding the development of better equipment and protective gear or devices that
should ultimately reduce the prevalence and incidence of injuries or lessen
their hazardous effects. The book is useful for military-oriented biomedical
engineers and medical physicists, as well as for military physiologists and
other medical specialists who are interested in the science and technology
implemented in modern investigations of military related injuries.
