Biomechanics of Human Movement
Biomechanics of Human Movement
Biomechanics applies mechanics to study the mechanical aspects of biological systems, from organisms to cells. It's a biophysics field concerned with living organisms' mechanics. As part of kinesiology, biomechanics focuses on movement mechanics, bridging theory and practical application. It encompasses bones, muscles, blood circulation, and more, impacting movement, stability, and disability. Injuries disrupt the coordinated interaction, while controlled mechanical manipulation aids recovery. Analyzing motion biomechanics helps understand disease, guide therapies, and assess treatment results, offering insights into mechanics, injury, and healing.
