Joint mechanics

Joint mechanics refers to the study of how joints in the body move and support various activities. Joints are connections between bones, allowing for movement like bending, twisting, and rotating. The mechanics involve understanding forces acting on joints, the type of movement they allow, and how they maintain stability. Factors such as muscle strength, ligaments, and cartilage health also play crucial roles. By examining joint mechanics, we can improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and develop treatments for joint-related issues, supporting overall physical health and mobility.
