Biomechanics refers to the study of motion, structure and function of mechanical aspects of biological systems, at the cellular level or the level of organism as a whole. The movement in organisms is regulated by motor control, which comprises directed movement and reflexes. The integration of multimodal sensory information from proprioception and the external environment is needed to control the movement. The nervous system generates necessary signals for the muscles to carry out a specific task. Motor control is significant in organisms for interacting with external world, to carry out required activities, as well as for stability, posture and balance. In humans, all the movements require motor neurons to trigger action potentials, which cause the contractions of required muscles. The coordination of muscles is triggered by the impulses sent by motor cortex towards the motor units. This results in production of movements by a subset of muscles contracting in precise pattern temporarily for generating force at the right time. This book contains some path-breaking studies on biomechanics and motor control. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
