Dear All,
Here are all the recommendations I recieved for my recent request for
basic knee biomechanic textbooks. Thanks to all concerned.
1.
From: "Andrew Hart"
I have just finished my PhD in the area of the knee and found that there
is only a small
area of books that deal with the knee. Depending on your subject area I
have given a
book below that may be of use. However, I would recommend using
publications
rather than books as these are more upto date.
Evans P, 1986, The Knee Joint, Churchill Livingstone.
2.
From: Evert-Jan Nijhof, Ph.D.
Helmholtz Institute, Utrecht University
BBL-365, P.O.Box 80.000

Try Biomechanical basis of human movement" by Joseph Hamill &
Kathleen M. Knutzen, Williams & Wilkens, Baltimore, 1995, ISBN 0-
683-03863-X.
It's pretty basic but rather complete.

I found really usefull for the biomechanics of the knee, from both the
biomechanical and clinical point of view the book
Knee Ligaments: structure, function, injury and repair
by Daniel et al. Raven press
4.
From: "Matt D"
Matt D Melbourne Foot Clinic
29 Leopold Crescent, Mont Albert, VIC, Australia 3127
Try and have a look at. Gait Anlaysis: Theory and Application, Craik
and Oatis, Mosby 1995.

>From : HowieDBPG@aol.com
I would suggest reading Root, M. et.al. Abnormal and Normal Function of
the Foot, Clinical Biomechanics Corp., Los Angeles, 1977 which is
available from a college of podiatric medicine. Without understanding
foot mechanics
and pathomechanics, many problems of the knee, such as PFS, gradual onset
DJD, etc.
cannot be understood. It is their interaction, as a repetitive strain
injury, which can
create the potential for destructive forces to be the applied to the
knee. If the foot:knee
effect goes unrecognized, then unresolved pain would appear as a primary
knee
pathology when in reality it is a secondary result of repeated stress.

From: Tanya Dawson
I'm looking at the biomechanics of the hip and femur for my PhD.
A good book is Joint structure and function: A comprehensive analysis by
Norkin and Levangie.

LeVeau B: Biomechanics of Human Motion - Williams and Wilkins, 3rd
Ed., 1992
Winter D: Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement, Wiley
Interscience, 1990
Burstein AH and Wright TM: Fundamentals of Orthopaedic
Biomechanics Williams and Wilkins, 1994

I highly recommend Knee Ligaments: Structure, Function, Injury and
Repair by Daniel, Akeson and O'Connor, for its treatment of knee
biomechanics.
