Lower Extremity Biomechanics

Lower extremity biomechanics refers to how the muscles, bones, and joints in your legs and hips work together during movement, like walking or running. It involves the way forces are generated, transmitted, and absorbed to maintain stability and efficiency. Proper biomechanics helps prevent injuries and ensures smooth, balanced motion. Factors like joint angles, muscle strength, and alignment influence how well these parts work together. Understanding lower extremity biomechanics is essential for improving athletic performance, rehabilitating injuries, and designing effective treatment or training programs.
