Biomechanics 11
Biomechanics 11 : The study of the effects of internal and external forces on the human body both in movement and at rest. Biomechanical models calculate the levels of force (compression and shear) and torque that the joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments are required to withstand and/or generate. The calculated forces and/or torques are compared to recognized limits to evaluate the acceptability of a task, activity, etc
