Abstract
Biomechanics is the study of mechanics (loads, motion, stress, and strain of solids and fluids) applied to biological systems. Musculoskeletal Biomechanics specifically focuses these methods for studies of the musculoskeletal system. This includes studies of the form and function of tissues including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, muscle, and nerve, at multiple scales ranging from the single cell to whole body. My presentation will provide a general overview of the biomechanical principles associated with the neuromusculoskeletal system. In particular I will review, the structure and properties of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and show how the various components of this system can be idealized and described in mathematical terms. The presentation begins with an overview of the mechanical properties of muscle, tendon, ligament, and cartilage, finishing off with a review of the ongoing research opportunities in Biomechanics, including a brief look at musculoskeletal tissue engineering, ergonomics, musculoskeletal adaptation, and tissue mechanics.
