Back pain is a major problem for modern society, affecting most people at some time in their lives. Much has been published on back pain, but most books give either a broad overview of the vital issue of causation, or else offer an individual interpretation based on personal experience and selected research literature. The Biomechanics of Back Pain is different: it is strictly evidence-based and focuses on clinical relevance, showing how the science of biomechanics can explain the initiation of spinal pathology and pain. Key features: Detailed analysis of the latest spinal research; Covers material previously available only in research journals; Emphasises the relevance of research to clinical practice and medico-legal issues; Integrates current knowledge to provide a cogent natural history of back pain; Illustrated with high-quality colour photographs of spinal pathology, and numerous line diagrams to explain the anatomy and biomechanics; Written by four of the leading researchers in the field. The Biomechanics of Back Pain is written primarily for health professionals who manage patients with back pain, and for students at the advanced undergraduate/graduate level. It also provides essential information for those involved in back pain prevention, in sports and fitness training, and in medico-legal practice. For biomechanists, it indicates how their science can be applied to answer a range of clinical questions. The authors are internationally renowned for their research into various aspects of back pain, and they integrate their expertise to present an authoritative account of the subject.
