Computational Biomechanics of Human Joints delves into the intricate details of each joint, exploring anatomical, mechanical, pathological, and therapeutic aspects. The book offers a comprehensive understanding of joint biomechanics by dedicating each chapter to specific joints, detailing their anatomical structure, biomechanical mechanisms, associated diseases, and pathologies. It also covers treatments, surgical interventions, and imaging-based modeling alongside numerical simulation techniques using the finite element method. This approach provides readers with an innovative perspective on the technological advancements in joint biomechanics. In addition to exploring joint-specific details, the book discusses the advantages and limitations of modern techniques.

Finally, the book emphasizes the potential for these methods to improve clinical decision-making, optimize personalized treatments, and design medical devices. The integration of advanced modeling and simulation techniques enhances the understanding of the complex mechanisms of joints, contributing significantly to both academic research and practical clinical applications.

Mekrane, Fatima Zahra
Fatima Zahra Mekrane is a PhD student in the field of Biomechanics. She has always been fasinated by how the human body moves. After graduating in Physiotherapy, then a Master in Biomechanics, she started working as a 3D analyst of human movement, where she was able to apply her theoretical knowledge to practice. Driven by a constant desire to deepen her understanding of human movement, especially pathological conditions that affect human biomechanics, she decided to pursue a PhD. Her current research focuses on using artificial intelligence to analyse and predict rheumatic diseases, which can help improve diagnosis and treatment.

Mesbah, Moustafa
Dr. Moustafa Mesbah is a researcher and an active member of the biomechanics group at the University of Mostaganem, and a visiting researcher at Aalborg University. He received his PhD in Biomechanics from the University of Mostaganem in 2019. Prior to joining Aalborg University in 2022, he served as a researcher for the University Research Project CNEPRU-PRFU. Moustafa's research focuses on developing the numerical and experimental characterization of the musculoskeletal system, including natural, pathological and treated conditions. His current research projects include developing innovative and smart implants with high clinical outcomes yet simple surgical technics using interfacing movement analysis and musculoskeletal modeling of the human body. He is also a mentor for graduate students and member of a number of international societies, editor and reviewer of several biomechanics journals and author of numerous publications. He is passionate about advancing the field of biomechanics and its applications to orthopedics.
