Term
sports biomechanics
Definition
by under standing and applying mechanical concepts , sports bio-mechanics assess the most optimal way to move the body in order to achieve maximal performance, whilst minimizing risk of injury.
Term
occupation bio-mechanics
Definition
the goal is to design machines and the work place to reduce repetitive stress on workers' joints. Fit the work place and equipment to the worker.
Term
Clinical Biomechanics
Definition
analyze the mechanics of injury patients and provide feedback(biofeed back) to restore normal function. Determine mechanisms of injury.
