3 unusual facts about biomechanics


Biomech

Biomechanics, the study of the mechanical function of biological systems

John Charnley

Charnley's research was based on two different aspects: clinical, for the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis, and biomechanical, with experiments to determine the fundamentals of bony union and the conditions governing the spontaneous regeneration of articular cartilage.

Vicki Hirsch

She also studied at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts in Moscow, where she trained with World Master Gennadi Bogdanov in Russian Classical Biomechanics.


Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology

The editors-in-chief are Gerhard A. Holzapfel (Center of Biomedical Engineering, Institute of Biomechanics, Graz University of Technology; School of Engineering Sciences, Department of Solid Mechanics, Royal Institute of Technology) and Larry A. Taber (Washington University).

CrossFit

According to Dr. Stuart McGill, a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo, the risk of injury from some CrossFit exercises outweighs their benefits when they are performed with poor form in timed workouts.

David A. Winter

He was later awarded the Muybridge Medal of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and the Lifetime Achievement Award of The Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society.

Gait analysis

In the 1890s, the German anatomist Christian Wilhelm Braune and Otto Fischer published a series of papers on the biomechanics of human gait under loaded and unloaded conditions.

Harry Hlavac

Richard Schuster and Steven Subotnick, Dr. Hlavac is considered to be a pioneer in the modern use of podiatric clinical biomechanics for the management of foot, knee, hip and back pain and treatment of athletic injuries.

Dr. Hlavac is the proprietor of Footguru, LLC, and Hlavac Podiatry, a specialized biomechanics private practice, based in Mill Valley, California.

Hugh Herr

Herr was a member of a team of seven experts in biomechanics and physiology from six universities that conducted research on the mechanics of Oscar Pistorius' running blades.

J. N. Reddy

He has made significant seminal contributions in the specific areas of finite element method, plate theory, solid mechanics, variational methods, mechanics of composites, functionally graded materials, fracture mechanics, plasticity, biomechanics, classical and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, and applied functional analysis.

Jacob Ben-Arie

Between 1968 - 1976, Ben-Arie completed a degree in Biology at Tel Aviv University and studied for MA in Psychology and Biomechanics at New York University.

Knee cartilage replacement therapy

It is interesting to note that debridement, introduced by Magnuson in 1941, does not have any scientific basis for existence; in fact, it is deleterious in terms of knee biomechanics.

Nikolai Eberhardt

In the spirit of Julien Offray de La Mettrie (1709–1751) he derives understanding of humanity, including culture and religion, not from the evolutionary approach — which he does not oppose, but transcends — but from considering humans as self reproducing, intelligent bio-mechanical robots, or biobots.

Ralph Mann

This book was the culmination of Dr. Mann's expertise in the field of biomechanics and Griffin's experience of teaching golf as a PGA Professional for many years.

Timeline of aviation before the 18th century

Italian physicist Giovanni Alfonso Borelli, the father of biomechanics, showed in his treatise On the movements of animals that the flapping of wings with the muscle power of the human arm can not be successful.

Umana

UMANA Ingenieria, the engineering consulting company specializing in R&D services in Biomechanics, Ergonomics, and Automotive, headquartered in Vigo, Galicia, Spain.
