Summary
Biomechanics has proliferated in recent years thanks to the rapid advancement of modern technology. Emerging technological developments, such as artificial intelligence and computer modeling, allow us to not only capture motion but also go deeper into the health and medical industries where applies these biomechanics technologies for many new fields in more practical settings, including deep learning in human gait recognition, optimization of athletic performance, and sports injury assessment and rehabilitation. In addition, biomechanics has been involved in developing new types of implantation interventions and medical devices, which play an indispensable role in improving the accuracy of surgery. In summary, the integration of these technologies can offer a powerful environment for improving biomechanics studies.
The purpose of this special collection is to provide a multidisciplinary discussion forum, covering all bioengineering professions, in terms of the recent applications of artificial intelligence, computational technology, and other modern technology in biomechanics.
