DESCRIPTION:Functional Biomechanics: How Technology Advancements Can Preven
 t Injuries and Improve Performance\n\nDr. Eric G. Meyer\n\nBiomedical Engi
 neering\n\nLawrence Technological University\n\nAbstract\n\nFunctional bio
 mechanics is the examination of human movement patterns during dynamic tas
 ks\, such as for ergonomics\, neuromuscular diagnosis\, athletic training\
 , injury risk reduction and healthy aging. Impact biomechanics research wi
 th cadaver\, surrogate and computational models has led to the design of s
 afer vehicles. Similar techniques were applied to better understand lower 
 extremity injury mechanisms in sports and evaluate solutions for injury pr
 evention. Orthopedic surgery and implant improvements help patients recove
 r from acute injuries and chronic degeneration. Recent industrial revoluti
 ons have blurred the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds an
 d technology has moved from large/stationary systems to light wearable (or
  implanted) devices that allow for new ways of interacting with informatio
 n. Advancements in wearable sensors\, computer vision and musculoskeletal 
 modeling are allowing greater consumer accessibility to proactively preven
 t musculoskeletal injuries or track wellness and optimize performance.\n\n
