Abstract (EN): This book presents novel and advanced Technologies for Medical Sciences in order to solidify knowledge in the related fields and define their key stakeholders. The 15 chapters included in this book were written by invited experts of international recognition and address important Technologies forMedical Sciences, including: Computational Modeling and Simulation, Image Processing and Analysis, Medical Imaging, Human Motion and Posture, Tissue Engineering, Design and DevelopmentMedical Devices, and Mechanic Biology. Different applications are addressed and described along the book, comprising: Biomechanical Studies, Prosthesis and Orthosis, Medical Diagnosis, Sport, and Virtual Reality. Therefore, this book is of crucial effectiveness for Researchers, Students and Manufacturers from several multidisciplinary fields, as the ones related with Bioengineering, Biomechanics, Computational Mechanics, Computational Vision, Human Motion, Mathematics, Medical Devices, Medical Image, Medicine and Physics. The Editors would like to take this opportunity to thank to all invited authors for sharing their works, experiences and knowledge, making possible their dissemination through this book.
