Clinical Biomechanics

Clinical biomechanics is the study of how the body moves and functions during everyday activities. It combines principles from mechanical engineering and biology to understand the forces acting on the body, especially in relation to injuries and rehabilitation. By analyzing movement patterns, healthcare professionals can identify issues such as poor posture or unnatural gait, which may lead to pain or injury. This knowledge helps in designing effective treatment plans, improving performance in sports, and enhancing overall mobility, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes.
