Biomechanical properties

Biomechanical properties refer to how biological tissues and materials, such as bones, muscles, and tendons, respond to forces and movements. These properties include strength (how much weight they can bear), elasticity (their ability to stretch and return to original shape), stiffness (resistance to deformation), and toughness (ability to absorb energy without breaking). Understanding these properties helps in assessing injury risk, designing medical implants, and improving athletic performance by ensuring tissues perform safely and efficiently under various physical stresses.
