Write a brief discussion about how knowledge of biomechanics may be useful in your intended profession or career.
To explain: How knowledge of biomechanics may be useful in intended profession or carrier.
Introduction: Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles in the study of living organisms. Knowledge of biomechanics will help to analyze the problem effectively and find better solutions.
Explanation of Solution
Knowledge on biomechanics provides a fundamental understanding of mechanical principles and their applications in analyzing movement of the human body. Its knowledge is essential for the physical education teacher, personal trainer, physician, physical therapist, coach or exercise instructor. Its knowledge will help to judge why swimming is not the best exercise for the persons suffering from osteoporosis. It will help to study the clinical and scientific aspects of exercise and sport. It will be helpful for selected sports to design bionic prosthetic feet for a better performance. Zoologists can study the locomotion patterns such as walking, running, trotting, and galloping of many animals.

- Can you summarize this paragraph? Any practitioner can do action research because it is conducted in the workplace without disrupting the workflow. The action researcher is a practitioner-researcher who improves their practice, and generates knowledge by describing how they have improved it; therefore, research is not just the domain of those in academia. We don't have to wait for others to conduct research and provide us with new knowledge: we can create new knowledge, transfer it into our practice, and share it with others. Action research empowers the practitioner, benefits patients and often has a positive ripple effect on the entire workplace in terms of elevating practice standards, and boosting morale. There are differing perspectives on action research in various professions, such as nursing, social work and education; it is also evolving to suit the needs of the dental team. The dental team needs more focus on action research that improves oral health by facilitating health…arrow_forwardThe function of a movement means: a The extent to which a student uses a movement pattern successfully for a particular purpose (i.e., can crawl across the room to get an object). b Whether or not the movement has a purpose that might be viewed as functional – for example, when a 6 year old puts a toy in her mouth, it is not functional. c Function is another word for purpose – Describing the purpose of a movement is the same thing as describing function. d A movement is only functional if it is age appropriate – for example, when a 12 year old crawls across the room, even if s/he gets what he wants, the movement is not functional because it is not age-appropriate.arrow_forwardWhat is the impact of laboratory automation to the Medical Technology fieldarrow_forward
