Biomechanics of the lower limb
Monk A., Van Oldenrijk J., Riley ND., Gill RHS., Murray D.
This article outlines concepts of mechanics used in orthopaedics. These concepts are then demonstrated (assuming only a basic understanding of physics) with relevance to the hip, knee, ankle and foot and used to explain some common conditions. Some equations are used in this article for completeness; they are not essential to understanding the core principles.
