Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the principles of mechanics. This interdisciplinary field combines elements from engineering, physics, and biology to analyze the movements and interactions of living organisms with their environments. Biomechanics is often divided into sub-disciplines such as cellular biomechanics, which focuses on the mechanical properties of cells, and orthopedic biomechanics, which deals with the mechanics of the musculoskeletal system. Applications of biomechanics include the development of prosthetic limbs, the improvement of sports performance through better understanding of human motion, and the design of ergonomic tools that reduce the risk of injury in the workplace. By studying how forces interact within biological systems, biomechanics contributes to advancements in medical procedures, rehabilitation techniques, and even robotics, where principles of human and animal movement are used to design more efficient and adaptable machines.
