About this Research Topic
Biomechanical analysis can accurately and quantitatively evaluate joint function and provide clinical recommendations for the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries. The biomechanical analysis mainly includes motion tracking, muscle strength measurement, neuromuscular control analysis, musculoskeletal modeling and simulation, etc. At present, biomechanical research related to sports injuries has become an international research hotspot, such as the study of biomechanical risk factors of sports injuries to provide quantitative and accurate rehabilitation recommendations for injury prevention; the study of biomechanical characteristics of joint movement after sports injury, and provide clinical suggestions for rehabilitation process, return to sports, reducing the risk of re-injury and reducing the risk of secondary injury.
Despite notable achievements, there persists a pressing need for further, in-depth exploration of biomechanical mechanisms in context of sports injury prevention and rehabilitation mechanisms, improvement of biomechanical assessment accuracy, validation, and optimization of clinical rehabilitation programs. This research topic is dedicated to exploring the forefront of the biomechanical mechanism of sports injury prevention or rehabilitation. Our objective is to showcase cutting-edge research that encompasses biomechanical mechanisms in context of sports injury prevention and rehabilitation, alongside the validation and optimization of clinical rehabilitation programs.
