There are many reasons why it is important to understand joint biomechanics. Many industries work with biomechanics in the human body. This gives a greater understanding of how the body moves. Hence, it can even give a better understanding of the capacity it takes to make a specific movement.
Sports industries can use the knowledge of biomechanics. This could be to make it easier to improve some movements for a sport or exercise. It could be what movements to avoid after an injury. Hence, it is also important to understand biomechanics when designing fitness equipment. You need to know what muscles get activated with the design of the equipment.
Understanding the biomechanics in the body is also important if you are designing a prosthetic limb or an implant. You need to understand how to design the prosthetic or implant to work with the rest of the body.
There are many industries that can make use of this. It can be quite difficult to test the joint biomechanics inside a body. Hence, you need a simulation to fully understand how it works. This could be a simulation software like The AnyBody Modeling System.
Testing joint biomechanics in AMS
The AnyBody Modeling System (AMS) is a musculoskeletal modeling software. Hence, AMS is a simulation of a body with the skeleton and muscles. This could be applied to humans, animals, and any other being. You can test and see varied aspects in the software. One of these is the joint biomechanics in the body. It does not matter which joint you are studying – you can study them all with AMS.
Are you testing the joint biomechanics on a specific person, you can test it in AMS. You can upload a screening of the patient and look at their joints. Hence, it could be relevant if you are designing an implant for a patient. You would be able to see how the implant would work in the patient. Hence, you could fix faults in the design before operation.
