Clinical Biomechanics focuses on patient populations to investigate movement and joint loading patterns during treatment within hospitals, clinical, and rehabilitation centers. Results from this work are used to create new strategies for improving quality of life and inform rehabilitation protocols. Clinical Biomechanists often work with professionals in rehabilitation and medical settings to create new advanced interventions and more efficient assistive devices. This area of biomechanics uses tools like gait analysis, muscle and strength testing, and simulation to understand pathologies such as stroke, knee osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, diabetes, cerebral palsy, and Parkinson’s disease.
