mechanisms are surprisingly poorly understood. Existing theories are relatively simplistic …

Movement is changed in pain. This presents across a spectrum from subtle changes in the
manner in which a task is completed to complete avoidance of a function and could be both …

Overuse injuries are generally defined as a repetitive micro-trauma to tissue. Many
researchers have associated particular biomechanical parameters as an indicator of such …

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
