Biomechanical engineering is a subset of biomedical engineering and can best be described as applying the principles of mechanical engineering and biological knowledge to the human body. The principles of biomechanical engineering are commonly applied in clinical, sports, and occupational domains where these inventive professionals help improve people’s lives in a number of ways. Biomechanical engineers develop assistive devices for people with disabilities; help to improve athletic performance, and even study and record human movement for high-tech animated effects used in the film industry.
