Prosthetic Biomechanics in Engineering

The book is about the recent advances in prosthetic engineering research. The scope of the book is focused on the design, development and evaluation of prosthetic systems that are being used in biomechanical applications. This book includes coverage of advanced materials, conceptual designs, and brain computer interface (BCI) systems.

Dr. Noor Azuan Abu Osman is a practicing engineer and Professor of Biomechanics with Faculty of Engineering, University Malaya, Malaysia.
