  • Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical aspects of movement, such as torque, drag, and posture. The study of biomechanics is used to enhance athletic technique and performance.
  • Biomechanics, a branch of cybernetics, was the science of studying motion in living beings. Having analyzed the results of their studies, scientists then instructed engineers in the building of machines which were capable of duplicating these movements. Examples of machines which benefited from this science were androids and cyborgs. By early 2364, Lieutenant Commander Data had been the subject of several biomechanical texts. (TNG: "The Naked Now" )
  • Biomechanics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems by means of the methods of the laws of mechanics and physics applied to the human body. he study of biomechanics can take place on a range of scales and levels, from the molecular level of cell signaling to the study of entire organisms. Understanding how organisms move is an important aspect of this field, as is the understanding of mechanical systems in the body such as the circulatory system and the digestive tract. While people may not think of living organisms as machines, in many ways, they actually perform a lot like machines, and the concepts used in basic mechanics can also be applied to the body.
  • A Methodology of Iteration X. BioMechanics exemplify the best and worst faces of Iteration X. Splitting their attention between the Spheres of Matter and Life, BioMechanics are the Iterators responsible for sophisticated mechanical hearts and the improved prosthetic leg that let little girls play soccer again. They are also, at least according to the Traditions (and not a few of their fellow Technocrats) the ones that want to open up everyone's heads, stuff a fistful of chips inside and turn everyone into cybernetic drones.

One field of interest in biomechanics is the study of injuries.

  • A Methodology of Iteration X. BioMechanics exemplify the best and worst faces of Iteration X. Splitting their attention between the Spheres of Matter and Life, BioMechanics are the Iterators responsible for sophisticated mechanical hearts and the improved prosthetic leg that let little girls play soccer again. They are also, at least according to the Traditions (and not a few of their fellow Technocrats) the ones that want to open up everyone's heads, stuff a fistful of chips inside and turn everyone into cybernetic drones. Their most famous (or perhaps infamous) invention is the HITMark, shock troops created from mechanised steel fused with human steel. Armed to the teeth - sometimes literally - they also possess powerful countermagic devices, an unstable personality and almost unswerving loyalty to Iteration X.
