Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary science that uses knowledge derived from physics for the understanding of the locomotor apparatus in living beings.
In recent years, technical advances in hardware and software have made biomechanics an essential tool in the analysis of sports techniques, the design of prostheses, or the quantification of the functional repercussion of a pathology.
After an accident or a common pathology, medical assessment is based on static tests, such as MRI, CT scan, X-rays, etc., but you need other complementary tests to evaluate the patient's actual functionality dynamically.
