"...a great overview, and a theoretical underpinning to clinical biomechanics.
...it would be a useful reference resource for many health departments
...a brilliant textbook that assists the reader through a large, difficult topic
This book is a complete course comprising of fully integrated print and online components which bring quality animations to life.
This book is recommended for the library of any practitioner who has a strong interest in biomechanics and wishes to study further the concepts of biomechanics taking it to the next level." -Shaun Kelly, Podiatry Review. Vol. 65 No. 4
