Biomechanics: A Case-Based Approach focuses on the comprehension, retention, and application of the core concepts of biomechanics using problem-based learning strategies. The text features a broad range of case studies and examples to illustrate key content throughout the text. Relevant and realistic problems presented in the text provide students with the opportunity to associate what they’re learning in the class with real life on the job situations. One of the highlights of this text is the manner in which the content is presented. The author emphasizes the concepts of biomechanics, rather than focusing on solving associated mathematical problems. An informal writing style is used to engage students without sacrificing anything in terms of the rigor of the content. Case studies are used throughout the text to illustrate key content areas while competency checks found at the conclusion of each major section map to the first three areas of Bloom's Taxonomy: remember, understand, and apply. The author takes a unique approach to ensure that all students understand the content using the technique of guided discovery throughout the text. To accommodate a variety of student learning styles, key concepts are presented physically, graphically and mathematically.
