TY  - CHAP
AB  - The objective of this chapter is to provide the reader with an introduction to the basic principles of mechanics followed by an overview of results from the application of these principles to the major joints in the human body. The first section considers the concepts of kinematics, kinetics, and mechanical properties of materials. The latter section consists of biomechanical overviews of the joints and is divided into four subsections: the upper and lower limbs, temporomandibular joint and intervertebral joints. A detailed presentation of the major candidates for joint replacement - hip, knee, shoulder and elbow - is included. This introductory material will allow the fuller descriptions of each individual joint in the later chapters.
