Clinical Biomechanics in Human Locomotion 1st Edition

Clinical Biomechanics in Human Locomotion, 1st Edition by Andrew Horwood and Nachiappan Chockalingam is an authoritative, clinically focused guide that brings the science of movement to life for practitioners and students. Clear, compelling and practical, this book translates complex biomechanical principles into actionable insight for gait analysis, rehabilitation and orthotic prescription.

Explore essential topics such as the mechanics of walking and running, kinematics and kinetics, muscle function, footwear and orthoses, and pathological gait. Richly illustrated and grounded in current research, the text bridges laboratory theory and bedside practice—making it indispensable for physiotherapists, podiatrists, orthopaedic clinicians, movement scientists and postgraduate students.

Readers will appreciate the book’s structured approach to clinical assessment and problem-solving: learn how to observe, measure and interpret gait, develop targeted intervention strategies, and evaluate outcomes with confidence. Case examples and practical treatment considerations emphasize real-world application across diverse populations, from athletes to older adults with mobility impairments.

Whether you’re training in the UK, USA, Europe, Australia or beyond, this edition offers global relevance with techniques and concepts adaptable to varied clinical settings. It’s a must-have reference for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of human locomotion and improve patient care through evidence-based biomechanics.
