Biomechanics: History, Sports Performance & Human Movement, Application & Injury Prevention A Brief explainatation of Biomechanics by Dr. Neeraj Mehta (Ph.D.) What is Biomechanics? Biomechanics is the study of how living things move through the lens of mechanics, or how they work (Hatze, 1974). Mechanics is a subfield of physics that deals with how things […]
Written By: Neeraj Mehta (Ph.D Human Biomechanics) The better an athlete’s technique is, the more likely they are to perform successfully and prevent injury. So, “It is necessary to utilize corrective biomechanics to counteract the risk of damage, joint dysfunction, or discomfort caused by repetitive anti-joint movements during sports or exercise”.

To understand how the human body works, we need to know that gravity has an effect on all living things on the Earth. It has taken hundreds of years of research to figure out how gravity affects these biological systems. Both direct and indirect effects have been looked at by the people who did this. […]
What You Should Know About Meniscus Injuries Each knee has two menisci, which are cartilage pads with a crescent shape. They have a critical function in stabilizing the knee joint, facilitating knee joint mobility, and absorbing the shock of walking and other weight-bearing movements. To describe a tearing of one of the menisci, the term […]
Walking and yoga are the most popular forms of exercise for arthritis patients, who can also incorporate all types of exercises to strengthen the body and increase range of motion under the supervision of a fitness / medical professional, according to Dr. Neeraj Mehta (Ph.D. Human Biomechanics & Alternative Medicine). Arthritis management can benefit from regular physical exercise, which is essential for both physical and emotional well-being. To keep muscles around joints healthy, minimize bone loss, and regulate joint swelling and pain through regular exercise, it is important to engage in regular physical activity. Joint stiffness and soreness can be eased with regular exercise since it lubricates the joint cartilage. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) sufferers often find significant relief from their symptoms, including joint stiffness and pain, through regular physical activity. People with RA who engage in regular physical activity may report decreased discomfort. In addition to reducing pain and improving joint function and flexibility, regular physical activity can also boost one’s mood and their overall well-being. Muscle-building workouts include lifting weights, using resistance bands, and practicing yoga. These can be done at home, in a gym, or in a fitness facility. People with arthritis can benefit from stretching and yoga as well. Most arthritis sufferers commonly ask themselves, “Why am I so stiff after getting up from a chair?” Exercise, severe physical activity, or weight lifting can cause muscle stiffness. Getting out of bed in the morning or getting out of a chair after a lengthy period of sitting can also cause stiffness. Sprains and strains are the most common causes of muscular stiffness. Arthritis pain and stiffness make it difficult to exercise. So, how do people with arthritis get up and move around? ‘ According to a research published by the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report on October 8th, 2021, the majority of them walked to their destination. 87,000 persons in the United States with arthritis, the majority of whom were middle-aged or older, participated in a 2019 study asking about their physical activity habits. Nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents said that walking was one of their two most common activities, even if they were suffering from acute joint pain. Taking part in any of these activities might help lessen the discomfort and exhaustion associated with arthritis. Walking at a brisk pace is an excellent cardiovascular workout that helps to reduce fatigue, inflammation, and excess weight (which contributes to arthritis pain). Strength training helps to alleviate joint discomfort by building stronger muscles that can better withstand joint pressure. Gardening helps to alleviate tension and exhaustion. Only a small percentage of people polled admitted to regularly partaking in low-impact hobbies like cycling or swimming. On the other hand, these exercises are excellent ways to burn calories without putting too much stress on your joints. […]
