    Biomechanics is the study of mechanics as applied to living organisms. It examines the forces that act on the body during movement and their effects. Biomechanics uses principles of engineering, anatomy and physiology to understand and improve human movement and design medical devices and sports equipment. It is used by engineers, doctors, physical therapists and coaches to address problems related to health, performance and injury prevention. A structured qualitative or quantitative approach helps analyze movement and formulate questions to identify issues and find solutions.

    BASICS OF BIOMECHANICS

    INTRODUCTION.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    Biomechanics
    The study or application of mechanics to biological systems. The study of the forces that act on the body and their effects on the bodys movement, size, shape, and structure.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    DEFINITION[2]
    Bio= life; Mechanics= physical actions Statics: form of mechanics that analyzes systems in constant state of motion
    Could be no movement at all Could be constant velocity with no acceleration

    Dynamics: form of mechanics that analyzes systems in motion and accelerating

    Who uses musculoskeletal biomechanics?


    Biomedical and biomechanical engineers
    Medical device companies Orthopaedic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation doctors Physical and occupational therapists NASA Automotive and aircraft companies Sports and safety equipment designers Athletic trainers, coaches, and athletes.
    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR 7

    Biomedical Engineering
    Biomedical Engineer
    Apply engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biologic systems Must have a good understanding of engineering fundamentals as well as anatomy, physiology, and medicine.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    Tasks of biomedical engineers


    Research in new materials for artificial organs, tissues, implants, etc. Develop new diagnostic instruments Develop computer models of physiologic systems and functions Design imaging systems, sensors, organs, implants, instruments Study normal and abnormal function to develop new methodologies of treatment.

    Anatomy

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    10

    The Skeletal System


    The skeletal system protects and supports our organs, helps with movement, produces blood cells, stores minerals The human skeletal system normally
    has 206 bones has over 200 articulations accounts for 12 to 20% of total body weight.

    The Muscular System


    Muscles maintain posture, generate heat, provide driving force for movement Muscles are the actuators of the musculoskeletal system.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    13

    The Muscular System


    The human muscular system normally
    has approximately 640 skeletal muscles accounts for 36 to 45% of total body weight.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    14

    Muscle Contraction
    Muscles are unique compared to other tissues of the body, they can contract Contracting muscles
    Produce or resist forces
    Muscles can produce or resist very large forces the bigger the muscle, the more force it can produce or resist

    Change their length


    Muscles can shorten by 1/5 to 1/3 of their original length.

    Muscles and Tendons


    Tendons connect muscles to bone
    Some muscle connect directly to bone Tendons may wrap around pulley-like structures Tendons are strong elastic bands, like very stiff rubber bands.

    BM2352 Unit1 Lect1 NSR

    18

    Function of Tendons
    Allow large cross-section muscles to attach to a smaller area of bone Reduce the diameter of our joints Facilitate pulley-like structures.

    General Question Examples


    Is the movement being performed with adequate (or optimal) force? Is the movement being performed through an appropriate range of motion? Is the sequencing of body movements appropriate (or optimal) for execution of the skill?

    25

    Specific Question Examples


    Is there excessive pronation taking place during the stance phase of gait? Is release of the ball taking place at the instant of full elbow extension? Does selective strengthening of the vastus medialis obliquus alleviate mistracking of the patella for this person?
