"Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems."
The study of the mechanical properties of biological tissues and systems, including their response to stress, deformation, and motion.
Anatomy: Study of the structure of living things, including human beings, animals and plants.
Physiology: Study of the functions and processes of living organisms.
Kinematics: Study of motion, without regard to the forces involved.
Statics: Study of the forces acting on and within structures in a state of equilibrium.
Dynamics: Study of the motion of objects and the forces causing the motion.
Muscle mechanics: Study of the properties and mechanics of muscles and their activation.
Joint mechanics: Study of the movement and function of joints, including their structure and motion.
Biomechanical modeling: Use of mathematical and computer models to understand the mechanics of biological systems.
Gait analysis: Study of human walking and running patterns, including the mechanics of the limbs and joints involved.
Injury prevention and rehabilitation: Use of biomechanical knowledge to prevent, identify and recover from musculoskeletal injuries.
Sports biomechanics: Application of biomechanics to sports performance, including studying the mechanics of movements and designing equipment to enhance performance.
Medical device design: Design of devices such as prosthetics and orthotics, which can help people with physical disabilities to move comfortably and naturally.
Ergonomics: Study of the ways in which people interact with their environment, in order to design systems that are safe, efficient and comfortable.
