Biomechanics

Math, science, and medicine have always piqued my interest. This led to my decision of wanting to be a biomedical engineer because it combines all of the things that fascinate me. My chosen career is a career that I can see myself doing happily. My plan is to get a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering then to continue my education to obtain a master’s degree. It is not bewildering that I would want to be a part of one of the best biomedical engineering programs in the nation. Finding an…

reposition, his prosthetic legs unnaturally fast.” This again has failed to be proven even though many tests have been performed on Oscar, but each fail to answer the question of an advantage. One thing that scientists do point out is that “there is biomechanics used” (Hirons). Therefore, until there is proven data to confirm that an amputee has an advantage, one should not have their abilities to be…

As the world continues to develop, so does the medical field. New medical problems arise almost every day. In order to keep up with all these changes, there is a profession that focuses solely on improving health care called biomedical engineering. For many people it is hard to completely understand the impact that biomedical engineering has had on the lives of many people, but knowing that it has produced a tremendous amount of devices and concepts since its beginnings can help someone start to…

These measurements of plantar pressure provide information about biomechanics of foot, ankle function during gait and indication of potential musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. The pressure distribution underneath the foot is affected by several factors such as the anatomical structure of the foot, body mass, gender…

The greatest and most beneficial input comes from the celebrity star power that has transformed Nike into a powerhouse. The technology that has been researched and developed by Nike through biomechanics and physiology has paid off in large part through two icons, Jordan and Tiger. Other athletes like Derek Jeter, LeBron James, Mia Hamm, Michele Wie, Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer have almost single handedly pulled Nike to the forefront of athletic…
