Biomechanics

Biomechanics is a field that performs researches about the connection between a body structure and a movement that this structure is capable of performing. It is one of the oldest areas developed with a goal of understanding and maximization of the efficiency of the movement in rehabilitation and sport, which is today as equally important; but is also interested in modern applications such as enabling movement of robotic systems, whether it means mimicing human movement as natural as possible (in humanoid robots) or obtaining a movement of a maximal precision (for example robots for performing surgeries).
