Whole Body Vibrations: Physical and Biological Effects on the Human
Body allows an understanding about the qualities and disadvantages of
vibration exposure on the human body with a biomechanical and medical
perspective. It offers a comprehensive range of principles, methods,
techniques and tools to provide the reader with a clear knowledge of the
impact of vibration on human tissues and physiological processes. The
text considers physical, mechanical and biomechanical aspects and it is
illustrated by key application domains such as sports and medicine.
Consisting of 11 chapters in total, the first three chapters provide
useful tools for measuring, generating, simulating and processing
vibration signals. The following seven chapters are applications in
different fields of expertise, from performance to health, with
localized or global effects. Since unfortunately there are undesirable
effects from the exposure to mechanical vibrations, a final chapter is
dedicated to this issue. Engineers, researchers and students from
biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial
professionals can profit from this compendium of knowledge about
mechanical vibration applied to the human body.
