In the study of clinical biomechanics, one should first be aware of the basic holistic, osteologic, arthrologic, and myologic factors involved, as well as the basic anthropometric systems frequently utilized. This chapter reviews these factors from their basic aspects so that it will be obvious that clinical biomechanics encompasses knowledge of a wide variety of related sciences.

If a doctor only had to concern himself with injury prevention, care, and rehabilitation, his role would be much easier. But many other factors are involved. For instance, consider motivation. The average coach has many pressures upon him, as do the players. These pressures may blind a coach to the fact that a player is participating with an injury, playing beyond the point of exhaustion, or playing with an injury where further trauma may lead to permanent injury. Players too, in their enthusiasm, may avoid reporting injury or even try to hide its effects.
