Clinical Biomechanics of the Spine, Manohar M. Panjabi and Augustus A. White III, JB Lippincott, ISBN 0-397-50720-8, 1990.

The aim of the course is to teach the details of spinal biomechanics to those who have a good command of basic biomechanical principles. In this context, it is aimed to examine all mechanical events that occur in the spine.

1. Within the scope of this course, the biomechanics of the spine will be fully learned.
2. All mechanical events that occur in the spine and the mechanical effects of treatment processes will be learned.
