Neuromechanics

Neuromechanics is the study of how the nervous system and muscles work together to produce movement. It examines how signals from the brain and spinal cord coordinate muscle actions, control force, and optimize movement efficiency. Essentially, neuromechanics bridges neuroscience and biomechanics, helping us understand how our body's neural control interacts with mechanical properties to enable smooth, precise, and adaptable motion, such as walking, running, or jumping. This field aids in developing better rehabilitation methods, sports training, and understanding movement disorders by exploring the complex interplay between neural signals and musculoskeletal function.
