The study of forces and their effects on living Systems (Human Body, Plants, etc.)
The intersection of Biology (anatomy, physiology) and Mechanics (physics: static and dynamics).
Biomechanics analyses forces acting on the body. External forces such as Gravity, friction and internal forces such as Muscle Forces, ligament tension.
Musculoskeletal Mechanics: The body works using lever systems where joints ae the fulcrums and muscles provides the efforts.
Locomotion: Biomechanics is critical in analysing gait (walking/running patterns) to detect abnormalities, improve performance or design better prosthetic.
Sports Performance: Optimizing techniques (Golf, swing, swimming stroke) to maximize efficiency and reduce injury risk
Occupational Health: Designing workspaces, tools, and equipment (ergonomics) to fit the human body, minimizing physical stress and maximizing comfort/safety.
Medical Devices: Developing and testing implants (hip, knee replacements), prosthetics, and orthotics to withstand real-world forces.
From sitting to sprinting, biomechanics explains how we move and why injuries happen. It's the science of movement, performance, and healing.
