Biomechanics

Home > Medicine > Chiropractic Medicine > Biomechanics

The study of movements of living organisms and the forces involved in those movements.

Anatomy and Physiology: Study of the human body's structure and function, including bones, muscles, organs, and systems.
Newtonian Mechanics: Principles of physics that describe motion and forces.
Biomechanical Analysis: Assessment of human movement and mechanics.
Kinesiology: Study of human movement, including muscles, joints, and bones.
Neuroanatomy: Study of the nervous system and its function.
Biophysics: Application of physics to biological systems.
Biomechanics of Human gait: Study of how humans walk and run.
Biomechanics of Spine and extremities: Study of the mechanical functioning of the spine and extremities.
Biomedical Engineering: Application of engineering principles to medical and biological problems.
Orthopedics: The diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
Rehabilitation: The process of restoring function and mobility after injury or illness.
Sports Medicine: The study and treatment of sports-related injuries and conditions.
Biomechanics of Athletic Injuries: Study of the biomechanics of sports injuries.
Biomechanics of Rehabilitation: Study of the biomechanics of rehabilitation.
Chiropractic Medicine: A form of complementary and alternative medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of biomechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Kinematics: Focuses on the study of movements and their causes within the body. This can involve analyzing the motion of joints, muscles, bones, and other structures as they interact with one another during movement.
Kinetics: Is the study of forces acting on the body during movement or activity. This includes understanding how forces are produced and transmitted throughout the body, as well as how they affect the body's response to movement or injury.
Biomechanical modelling: Involves developing computational models to describe and predict the behavior of the musculoskeletal system. These models can be used to simulate and analyze movements, forces, and stresses within the body.
Rehabilitation biomechanics: Focuses on the use of biomechanics to improve overall function and mobility in the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. This can involve analyzing movement patterns and developing treatment plans to address issues with joint mobility, muscle strength, and balance.
Sports biomechanics: Involves the study of biomechanical principles in the context of athletics and sports performance. This includes analyzing techniques and movements used in specific sports, as well as developing training programs to improve performance and prevent injury.
Occupational biomechanics: Focuses on the design of work environments to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. This includes analyzing work tasks and movements to identify potential hazards and developing solutions to improve worker safety.
Gait analysis biomechanics: Focuses on the study of walking and running patterns and how they affect overall posture and joint health. This can include analyzing foot strike patterns and developing treatment plans to address issues such as flat feet or pronation.
Clinical biomechanics: Involves the use of biomechanics to diagnose and treat a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. This can include developing treatment plans for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, or shoulder injuries.
