13 Facts About Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, using the methods of mechanics.

Biomechanics contributed to mechanics and military and civil engineering projects.

Biomechanics had a great understanding of science and mechanics and studied anatomy in a mechanics context.

Biomechanics analyzed muscle forces and movements and studied joint functions.

Biomechanics analyzed muscle forces as acting along lines connecting origins and insertions, and studied joint function.
