The study of mechanics as it relates to a living structure, specifically the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on skeletal structures.
The analysis of biology from a functional aspect.
Engineering principles applied to living organisms.
The area of kinesiology that deals with analysis of movement.
Study of the effects of mechanical forces on the body; includes forces arising from both within and outside of the body.
The application of engineering and physical science to the movement of living organisms.
The utilization of principles rooted in mechanical sciences extends its reach to the intricate frameworks found within the human anatomy. This application involves quantifying both the magnitude and orientation of forces exerted upon joints, thereby shedding light on the dynamics and stress distribution within these structures.
