Abstract
Biomechanics studies the understanding human body motions: how to describe them, analyze them and assess them. Biomechanics as an interdisciplinary field can date back to Aristotle (384–322–BC) who wrote the treatise “About the movement of Animals” (350 BC) and provided the first analysis of gait. Later, Herophilos (335–280 BC), Galen.
