Abstract

Human physical activity is influenced in a variety of ways by physiological conditions and psychomotor response. Joints are essential parts of the musculoskeletal system, connecting the skeletal structure and enabling the muscles to actuate physical activity. Pain, subluxation and arthritis are common joint pathologies associated with disability. Biomechanical studies augment our understanding of normal joint function and the etiology of joint disorders, and provide treatments for the restoration of joint function.
