The term biomechanics means the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the methods of mechanics. Biomechanics studies the process of kinematics and develops artificial limbs and footwear specifically to aid the body in performance. The study of biomechanics also includes the stress testing on crash dummies in car accidents and any sport where stress is placed on the body in order to produce performance. The type of stress specifically is the

of Transportation. Again, body stress measured in tension and compression, and moments of the body are measured in order to better the restraints in a car for safety.
Biomechanics is a well-developed area in science and engineering where studies are performed. Many universities have a biomechanics lab in which advancements in technology are accomplished so that we may understand and operate our human bodies with greater knowledge of how to do so in the future.
