Biomechanics

Research in biomechanics became more widely known within the 20th century.

Biomechanics is that the application of engineering principles to living organisms. Biomechanics of organisms can be examined at different levels: cellular level (e.g., response of cells to an externally applied force or deformation), tissue level (e.g., strain of the anterior cruciate ligament during normal gait), and whole-joint level (e.g., joint contact forces during activities of daily living).

Not surprisingly, biomechanics is one of the core sciences used to understand how dynamic loading in the central nervous system; causes injury. This long-term response, initiated when forces are transferred to the cellular/molecular scale at the time of injury, is a key contributor in the outcome of head-injured and spinal cord-injured patients.

Biomechanics is that the study of movement in biological systems, including citizenry.

Biomechanics is taken into account a sub-field within the broader discipline of kinesiology, or the study of how people move. Biomechanics is essentially a search discipline, but practical applications exist also. This is a device capable of measuring an athlete's movement 100 times every second to pinpoint exactly which elements of the athlete's technique are more or less effective at any given moment. This makes it possible to suggest changes to aspects of the technique even an elite athlete wouldn't have noticed. Biomechanics is that the study of how the systems and structures of biological organisms, from the littlest plants to the most important animals, react to varied forces and external stimuli.
