- 8. Where to apply? Biomechanics is widely used in orthopedic industry to design orthopedic implants for human joints, dental parts, external fixations and other medical purposes.
- 9. Kinesiology is the scientific study of human or non-human body movement. Kinesiology addres ses physiological, biomechanical, and psychological dynamic principles and mechanisms of movement. Kinesiology (Biomechanics)
- 11. Applications Applications of biomechanical principles and models in industry to control musculoskeletal disorders of the low back and upper extremity. Applications of 2-D and 3-D biomechanical models to estimate compressive force on the low back, the strength requirements of jobs, It is used to study of the performance and function of biomaterials used for orthopedic implants. 1. 2. 3.
