A deeper understanding of human movement has led to the advancement of kinesiology, biomechanics & motion analysis, essential in optimizing rehabilitation strategies. Kinesiological research examines muscle function and coordination, aiding in the development of targeted therapies for injury recovery and performance enhancement. Biomechanical assessments, including gait analysis and joint kinetics, provide valuable insights into movement abnormalities, guiding clinicians toward more precise interventions. Motion capture systems and pressure-mapping technologies are now widely used to evaluate functional limitations and fine-tune prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation devices. By applying physics and engineering principles to human movement, specialists can refine therapeutic approaches, ultimately improving mobility, reducing pain, and preventing recurrent injuries.
