Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical aspects of biological systems including the cells, tissues, organs and complete organisms. For many years, biomechanics study has been a mainstay of the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular fields, and this level of interest has grown and expanded into other parts of the human body and in the study of animals. In preparation for this foreword, I checked the number of publications on biomechanics that have been included on the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database. The growth year on year was explosive—from 1720 publications in 1990, to 2990 in 2000, 8220 in 2010 and 12,750 in 2020. A similar trend was found in publications on the biomechanics of injury (the subject of this book) with growth from 374 in 1990, to 734 in 2000, 1724 in 2010 and 2775 in 2020. This book presents a strong collection of research material on biomechanics, most of which is on the human body, but it also includes useful additions from the animal world including, most notably, a study of the woodpecker’s anatomy and its smart mechanism to cope with the repeated acceleration and deceleration associated with its fast head movements. For the human body, the book includes detailed studies of the biomechanics of its many mechanical systems. Prominent among these are chapters devoted to the study of the musculoskeletal system, including the mechanics of the foot, knee, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the whole integrated musculoskeletal system. The book also covers other biomechanical systems formed mainly of soft tissue such as the eye. As the book is focused mainly on injuries to biomechanical systems, it is interesting to see the emphasis on extreme loading, beyond normal physiologic conditions, and leading to overloading of both soft and stiff body tissues. The study of the woodpecker presents a good example of these discussions with the focus in this case being on the avoidance of injury, rather than the mechanisms leading to it. Other chapters looked at foot injuries and the use of insoles to avoid them, soft tissue injury and the use of implants to remedy it, and the treatment of the knee joint following mechanical overloading.
