experimental biomechanics
Experimental biomechanics is the scientific study of how biological tissues and structures respond to forces and movements. It involves using devices and techniques to measure things like stress, strain, and deformation in muscles, bones, and joints during different activities or conditions. This research helps us understand how the body functions, how injuries occur, and how to improve treatments and sports performance. Essentially, it’s about observing and analyzing the physical behavior of the body’s movement and tissues through controlled experiments to gain insights that can enhance health and performance.
