Definition
- Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the methods of mechanics. Although the ideas and investigations that can be classified as biomechanics go back to Giovanni Borelli (1608–1679), who first described the basis of muscular and skeletal dynamics, the term biomechanics and research performed in this field have became well known only in the past several decades.
