Soft Tissue Biomechanics

Soft tissue biomechanics is the study of how tissues like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin respond to forces and movements. It examines their ability to stretch, bend, and resist stress, helping us understand how these tissues support and allow motion in the body. This knowledge is vital for injury prevention, designing medical treatments, and developing prosthetics or implants. Essentially, it explores how soft tissues behave under different conditions, ensuring they function properly and reliably in daily activities and healing processes.
