Biomechanics is the study of the movement of living things. This branch of biomedical engineering, closely related to kinesiology, involves the study of the forces generated by the body, as well the forces that act on the body. It is often used in improving the performance of athletes. The evaluation of the skeletomuscular system through motion and gait analysis for addressing clinical issues such as joint pain, injury, and physical disabilities, are of chief importance in rehabilitation. In rehabilitation engineering, technologies are developed to restore impaired motor or cognitive functions. Hearing aids, cochlear implants, orthosis, and prostheses are some examples of products designed in rehabilitation engineering for clinical applications.
