Mechanics-study of forces and motions for the body.
Mechanics
Statics
Dynamics
deal with nonmoving
parts (equilibrium).
deal with moving systems
Kinetics
Describes forces that
cause motion of a body
Kinematics
Describes motion and includes
consideration of time, displacement,
velocity, acceleration and mass.
Basic Biomechanics
• Biomechanics-apply mechanics to the structure
and function of the human body.
Is the scientific study
of the mechanics of
biological systems.
Biomechanics

(Mechanics)
Anatomy
Physiology
Applications Biomechanics
- Improved the performance ( Human movement)
- Preventing or treating injury
- Design prosthesis & orthosis or artificial limb
Biomechanics
•Biomechanics is be used to:
–To understand the biomechanical analysis (motion) (Gait
cycle) (for normal and patient human).
–To understand function of vascular system in order to
analysis the fluid biomechanics (blood flow).
–To analysis the biomechanics of :
soft tissue (muscle)
hart tissue (bones).
–To model these systems to aid in the design of
prosthetic devices (e.g. artificial artery or artificial limb)
Principles associated to biomechanical analysis
• Balance and stability
• Centre of gravity
• Elasticity
• Forces (action & reaction)
• pressure
• power
• Bending moment
• Torque moment
• Friction
• Wear
• Density
• Momentum
• Velocity
• Time
• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Mass
• Inertia
• Dimensions
• Viscosity

Loads
The external forces that act on the
body impose loads that affect the
internal structures of the body.
Humans moves through a system of levers
There are 3 classes of levers.
First class lever
Second class lever
Third class lever
First Class Levers
Up and down movement of the
head about the atlas joint.
First Class Levers
Using a crowbar to move a rock.
First Class Levers
Using a hammer to pull out a nail.
First Class Levers
A see-saw.
Second Class Levers
The movement of the foot when walking.
(the calf muscle provides the effort and
the ball of the foot is the pivot)
Second Class Levers
Opening a bottle with a bottle opener
Second Class Levers
Pushing a wheel barrow.
Third Class Levers
Biceps curl.
Levers
• The mechanical advantage of levers may be
determined using the following equations:
Mechanical advantage =
Resistance
Force
or
Mechanical advantage =
Length of force arm
Length of resistance arm

Bitting Force
• Human female bite = 360 N
• Human male bite = 564 N
Boxer can punch
with 10,528 N 18
Dog bite = 1,410 N 2.5
Lion bite down
with 5,533 N 10
Fluid biomechanics (blood flow).
Vascular Biomechanics
• Continuity Equation:
• mass in = mass out

Bone Biomechanics (Hard tissue)
• Bone is anisotropic material
(modulus is dependent upon the direction of loading).
• Bones are:
strongest in compression.
weakest in shear.
• Ultimate Stress at Failure Cortical Bone
Compression
Tension
Shear
< 212 N/m2
< 146 N/m2
< 82 N/m2
Mechanical Properties of Bone
Ductile or Brittle
Depends on age and rate at which it is loaded
- Younger bone is more ductile
- Bone is more brittle at high speeds
return to original
shape after fracture
Type of Loading
Bending
Torsion
Axial Loading
Compression
Tension
Fracture Mechanics
•Bending load:
– Compression strength greater
than tensile strength
– Fails in tension

Biomechanics Bone fixation
External

Internal
fixation
Biomechanics of External Fixation
• Number of Pins
– Two per segment
– At least 3 pins
Biomechanics of Internal Fixation
IM Nails (Rod)
• Stiffness is high
proportional to the 4th
power.
Biomechanics of Internal Fixation
Plate Fixation
• Functions of the plate Compression Neutralization Buttress
Bending moment = F x D
F = Force
F = Force
IM
Nail
D
D = distance
from force to
implant
Plate
D
The bending moment
for the plate is greater
due to the force being
applied over a larger
distance
Biomechanical principles
similar to those of external fixators
Stress distribution
Osteoarthritis may result from wear
and tear on the joint
The medial (inside) part of the knee is most
commonly affected by osteoarthritis.
