Key Insights

NanoBioMechanics / Orthopedic Biomechanics 2. Decorin: A Central Regulator of Cartilage Extracell Biomechanics is the study of the structure, function and motion of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, and even proteins [1] using the methods of mechanics. [2] Biomechanics is a branch of biophysics. What Is Biomechanics? Biomechanics is the science of the movement of a living body, including how muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to move.

Final Thoughts

Biomechanics is part of the larger field of kinesiology, specifically focusing on movement mechanics.
