Biomechanics
Biomechanics is vastly applied in human movement and clinical applications that benefit integration in various engineering techniques. It has facilitated the development of new technologies utilized in the various engineering fields. Biomechanics is a field in science that focuses on mechanics in various fields of studies. It applies musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems, and orthopedics to facilitate the studies mechanics in tissue, cellular, and joint level to become more viable. Injuries in the tissues and the possible orthopedic biomechanics investigations (facilitated through Biomedical Engineering) focuses on the clinically relevant of biomedical engineering in tackling the problems related to injuries.
In biomechanics, experimental and computational methods are utilized to develop and certify the models to be applied in approaching problems related to hard and soft tissue behavior. This brings in the aspect of tissue mechanics researching which focuses on the specific material characterization on the healing biological tissues. This is where also biomedical engineering comes into place. It through biomedical engineering that the biomaterial construction of the engineered tissue is done. The same material constitutive models and testing methods used in describing the mechanical behaviors of the tissues in shear, compression, and tension modes, is articulated in biomedical engineering.
ISE on the other hand, emphasizes on the cognitive systems in engineering and applications in biodynamic. Biomechanics also has the application of biodynamic in its programs and fields. ISE involves research in areas such as cognitive systems engineering and physical ergonomics. Physical ergonomics itself is biomechanics. In ISE, researches on clinical assessment methods, back and upper extremities, and industrial risk surveillance, fall under the field of biomechanics. Hence, the relation between ISE and biomechanics is noted.
