Biomechanics is a 21st century professional area and continually expanding in its applications. Sportsmen and women are tremendously benefited by biomechanics, whether they realise this or not, as their trainers and training will call upon this discipline in helping their muscles and movements to become optimised.
Disabled people will have aids developed through the skills of biomechanics. There is a great deal of research involved, much of it university based, so that new developments and innovations are part of the job experience.
