It is an emerging research field that seeks to understand the complex biomechanical behaviors of normal and pathological human joints to come up with new methods of orthopedic treatment and rehabilitation.

Application of biomechanics to non-human organisms,   whether used to gain greater insights into humans (as in physical anthropology) or into the functions, ecology and adaptations of the organisms themselves.

Biofluid dynamics may be considered as the discipline of biological engineering or biomedical engineering in which the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics are used to explain the mechanisms of biological flows and their interrelationships with physiological processes, in health and in diseases/disorder. Fluidotherapy is a dry thermal physical agent that transfers its energy (i.e. heat) to soft tissues by forced convection. ... It is defined as:modality of dry heat that uses a suspended air stream with the properties of a liquid.

Defined as the science of rubbing surfaces. ... When interacting surfaces belong to the human body or animals, including artificial joints

The field of biomechanics is a wonderful bridge between the two. Those who study the biomechanics of trauma get to work with fine people in both areas in an effort to elucidate mechanisms of injury. Presumably, definition of these mechanisms can lead to injury mitigation and perhaps even enhanced treatment outcomes.

well-known study, particularly in statistical shape analysis for its theoretical developments, as well as in biology for practical applications to the differential growth rates of the parts of a living organism's body.

In this subfield of biomechanics the laws of mechanics are applied in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance through mathematical modeling, computer simulation and measurement. Proper understanding of biomechanics relating to sports skill has the greatest implications on: sport's performance, rehabilitation and injury prevention

Human-factors engineering, also called ergonomics or human engineering, science dealing with the application of information on physical and psychological characteristics to the design of devices and systems for human use. Ergonomics is a systematic and rational means of specifying work that is within the expected capabilities of select groups of people. ... Apply the principles of occupational biomechanics to perform an ergonomic risk analysis within the workplace and/or home environment.

Musculoskeletal Biomechanics is a branch of biomechanics specifically focussing on the musculoskeletal system. This includes studies of the behavior of isolated tissues including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, muscle, and nerve, as well as studies of the interaction between these tissues and gross movement and stability. Orthopaedic Biomechanics. ... main focus is foot and ankle biomechanics and kinematic and mechanical compensations in the joints of the lower limb. The clinical applications on which on gait of children with cerebral palsy, runningbiomechanics, flatfoot, and osteoarthritis treatment.

Redundancy. An important issue for coordinating themotor system is the problem of the redundancy ofmotor degrees of freedom.

The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.

"Movement disorders" refers to a group of nervous system (neurological) conditions that cause abnormal increased movements, which may be voluntary or involuntary. Movement disorders can also cause reduced or slow movements. Common types of movement disorders include: Ataxia.

Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that is concerned with how the brain and the rest of the nervous system influence a person's cognition and behaviors. More importantly, professionals in this branch of psychology often focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive functions and behaviors.

Kinesiology is an academic discipline that studies physical activity and its impact on health, society, and quality of life. Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, at any level from whole organisms to organs, cells and cell organelles, using the methods of mechanics. Sophisticated improvements in this  technologies continue to enhance the capabilities of treatment modalities in unprecedented ways.

Kinesiological Stretching is a type of neuromuscular physical exercise meant for stretching a particular muscle. Named after Kinesiology, this technique is used to get more flexibility, range of motion and strength at the same time with the view of attaining new range of flexibility functional

Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to specialized medical and nursing care for people with life-limiting illnesses. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a terminal diagnosis.

Occupational therapy (OT) treatment focuses on helping people with a physical, sensory, or cognitive disability be as independent as possible in all areas of their lives. OT can help kids with various needs improve their cognitive, physical, sensory, and motor skills and enhance their self-esteem

Manual therapy is the Application of absolutely determined and especially directed manual force into the body beneficial to improve mobility in areas that are restricted in joints with connective tissues or in skeletal muscles.

It is an alternative to the traditional manual form of spinal  manipulation, known as the high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) thrust. Next to the Diversified technique, the Activator Adjusting Instrument is reported to be the most common therapeutic intervention used by chiropractors.

Hydrotherapy Physiotherapy (also known as Aquatic Therapy) is exercises in warm water. The unique properties of warm water can improve movement of stiff or swollen joints, provide relaxation, strengthen weak muscles and alleviate aches and pains. Water boasts unique properties which aide both therapy and fitness and is particularly beneficial for those who cannot comfortably rehabilitate or work out on land, as is often the case with Neurological Conditions.

Geriatric rehabilitation or geriatric physical therapy is the branch of medicine that studies rehabilitation and physical therapy issues in elderly. 'Working with older people can present the physiotherapist with a set of challenges unparalleled in other areas of practice too

Movement assessment is the practice of analyzing movement performance during functional tasks to determine the kinematics of individual joints and their effect on the kinetic chain. Three-dimensional or two-dimensional analysis of the biomechanics involved in sporting tasks can assist in prevention of injury and enhancing athletic performance. Identification of abnormal movement mechanics provides physical therapists with the ability to prescribe more accurate corrective exercise programs to prevent injury and improve exercise rehabilitation and progression following injury and assist in determining readiness to return to sport.

Motor imagery is a cognitive process in which a subject imagines that he=she performs a movement without actually performing the movement and without even tensing the muscles. It is a dynamic state during which the representation of a specific motor action is internally activated without any motor output.

The application of genomics research in kinesiology may be characterized as kinesiogenomics or sport genetics. Therefore, kinesiogenomcs is generally known as the study of genetics in the various discipline of kinesiology which refer to the study of human movement. In the research field of Kinesiogenomics, the scientific goal is to clarify the role of genes in sport performance, identification of various genes with their different alleles that affect to the response and adaptation of the body systems and metabolism.

Kinanthropometry is the study of human body size, shape and form and how those characteristics relate to human movement and sporting performance. Main purpose is to maintain an international network of like-minded colleagues working on the standardization of anthropometric techniques and applications.

Physical therapists must be aware of the benefits and limitations of Yogic exercises on musculoskeletal conditions. Yoga programs must be modified and adapted to the needs of an individual with disability.

Physical therapy is used to diagnose movement disorders and help improve physical function during everyday activities. Some patients seek treatment to ensure their bodies are functioning correctly in hopes to prevent injury from occurring in the first place.
