Prosthetic Biomechanics in Engineering Prosthetic biomechanics is an interdisciplinary field of engineering medicine and biology focused on enhancing people’s lifestyles. In the past 20 years the field of prosthetic biomechanics and its potential have grown due to the support of advances in engineering technologies. Prosthetic Biomechanics in Engineering is about the recent advances in prosthetic engineering research. The scope of the book is focused on the design development and evaluation of a prosthetic systems that are being used in biomechanical applications. The book covers advanced materials conceptual design classification ergonomics design applications brain computer interface (BCI) system motion analysis postural stand stability upper and lower limb prosthetics types of suspension systems for prosthetics Fiber Bragg Grating-based techniques and pressure on the residual limb and the socket. The early chapters effectively describe new sensors for in-socket systems new pylon material and advanced gait analysis. Further chapters discuss advanced techniques for the design and development of prosthetics based on clinical and emergency uses. The information provided in this book is intended for researchers and investigators to encourage further advances in the field of prosthetics research and for the development of rehabilitation equipment for the improvement of human health and it: Presents recent advances in prosthetic biomechanics engineering research Discusses the design and development of limb prosthetic systems Explores advanced concepts of the prosthetic sockets Describes gait analysis of prosthetics and orthotics Dr Noor Azuan Abu Osman is a practicing engineer and Professor of Biomechanics with Department of Biomedical Engineering Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya Malaysia.

Face It A Visual Reference for Multi-ethnic Facial Modeling As animation software becomes more advanced and graphics become more refined the opportunity to create informative detail becomes more achievable in your characters. You can't give every character the same facial contours anymore. Today's graphic engines and hi-definition screens enhance detail and the features in your character can make or break the believability of your game or movie. Face It provides you with the resources that you need to ensure an accurate character model. By examining the skulls of people of different ages ethnicities and geographical areas authors Patricia Beckmann-Wells and Scott Wells showcase the intricacies of the human head and face and show you how to apply that to your models. Whether it be a Caucasion women in her 50s or an African man in his late 20s you'll know how to properly shape a forehead an eye socket and even cheekbones to ensure the 100% accuracy of your 3D character. | Face It A Visual Reference for Multi-ethnic Facial Modeling GBP 175.00 1
