biomechanics research centers

Biomechanics research centers study how the human body moves and functions, using scientific tools and methods. They analyze everything from muscle and joint mechanics to how people walk, run, or recover from injuries. These centers support advancements in sports performance, rehabilitation, prosthetics, and medical devices by understanding movement dynamics. Researchers may use motion capture technology, computer simulations, and biomechanical testing to gather data. The goal is to improve health, enhance athletic performance, and develop better treatments and devices by understanding the complex mechanics of human movement.
