This book provides a multidisciplinary approach to osteoporosis, covering assessment and treatment. It addresses osteoporosis as a skeletal metabolic disorder of epidemic extent, noting the dramatic increase in affected individuals and fragility fractures globally due to increased life expectancy. The disease affects millions of women and increasingly men, driven by age-related changes in body composition, metabolic factors, and hormonal levels.
This book, edited by Philippe Gorce, is a collection of articles focusing on the application of biomechanical modeling techniques to understand and analyze musculoskeletal disorders and diseases. Key areas covered include sports performance, health analysis, rehabilitation (such as pediatric lower-limb exoskeletons), and occupational ergonomics, featuring detailed studies on human gait and risk assessment.
Focuses on recent interest regarding assessments and therapeutic options of osteoporosis from the point of view of orthopedics. It addresses osteoporosis as a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and compromised bone strength resulting in increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.
