Abstract
Biomechanical models are mathematical representations of human structure. These models are used to analyse joint and injury mechanics and design of prosthetic devices for human body under various conditions. Biomechanical model development involves the integration of knowledge from various fields, including mechanics, biology, physiology, and mathematics. Biomechanical models have become more significant in the healthcare sector as researchers strive to offer better medical supplies and ride comfort. It has uses in automobile and sports science as well, to create human dummies for accident and segmental vibration transmissibility study, improve training routines, and prevent injuries. These biomechanical models might be anything from straightforward lumped parameter models to intricate multi-body models. The virtues, weaknesses, and contemporary uses of lumped parameter modelling and multi body modelling in biomechanical modelling are discussed in this article. Subsequently, emphasised the recent modelling improvements and explored the future direction of biomechanical modelling. Researchers and professionals who wish to apply biomechanical models to comprehend human movement and enhance performance may find this review to be helpful.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
