Biomechanics explain injury mechanisms.
Biomechanics is comprised of bio, meaning living tissue and mechanics, the classic engineering study of loading. Biomechanics is the science that deals with the time and space response characteristics of biologic solids, fluids and viscoelastic materials (living tissue) to imposed internal and external forces. It can be classified as engineering studies of mechanics associated with the interface of loads on rigid and nonrigid bodies and the behavior of bodies (physiologic systems) under loading. This white paper reviews the three basic types of loading: tension (pulling), compression (crushing) and shear (smearing).
