Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

Musculoskeletal biomechanics is the study of how the body's muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to produce movement and maintain stability. It examines the mechanical forces acting on the body and how these structures respond to those forces during activities like walking, running, and lifting. This field helps us understand injuries, improve athletic performance, and develop better treatments and rehabilitation methods. By analyzing movement patterns, researchers can design more effective exercises and interventions to enhance overall musculoskeletal health and functionality.
