Oxford Biomechanics

Oxford Biomechanics is a research field that studies how the human body's structures—like bones, muscles, and joints—move and support physical activity. It combines principles from engineering and biology to analyze movement patterns, identify issues, and develop improvements for injury prevention, rehabilitation, or performance enhancement. Through advanced technology such as motion capture and computer modeling, Oxford Biomechanics aims to understand the mechanics of movement in health and disease, providing insights that can inform medical treatment, sports science, and ergonomic design.
