Locomotion biomechanics is the study of the mechanical principles underlying the movement of living organisms, focusing on how forces and structures interact to produce motion. It integrates knowledge from biology, physics, and engineering to understand and improve movement efficiency, injury prevention, and rehabilitation strategies.

Movement efficiency refers to the optimization of physical movements to achieve desired outcomes with minimal energy expenditure and reduced risk of injury. It involves the integration of biomechanics, physiology, and motor control to enhance performance in various physical activities.

Movement Efficiency

Injury prevention involves strategies and interventions designed to reduce the risk of physical harm, emphasizing proactive measures in various environments such as workplaces, sports, and homes. It integrates education, policy-making, and engineering controls to create safer conditions and promote awareness, ultimately aiming to decrease the incidence and severity of injuries.

Injury Prevention

Rehabilitation strategies are comprehensive plans designed to restore individuals to their fullest physical, mental, and social capabilities after injury, illness, or addiction. These strategies are tailored to the individual's specific needs, incorporating medical treatment, therapy, and support systems to facilitate recovery and improve quality of life.
