mechanical stimulation

Mechanical stimulation refers to the process of applying physical forces or movements to tissues, cells, or materials, which can trigger biological responses. For example, touch, pressure, stretching, or vibration can activate cellular signals and influence how cells grow, repair, or function. This type of stimulation is essential for various physiological processes, including muscle development, bone strength, and tissue healing. In research and medicine, mechanical stimulation helps understand how physical forces impact health and can be used to promote recovery or develop therapies.
