Seldom do we think of the body as a mechanism, preoccupied as we are with its underlying biological functions. How does viewing the body as a mechanism impact our approach to injury rehabilitation? In this episode, we learn about the field of biomechanics with our guest, Dr. Timothy Burkhart, and host, Tiffany Tiu. Dr. Burkhart provides us with an overview of his research in orthopaedic biomechanics and the various ways it intersects across disciplines such as sports medicine, orthopaedic surgery, injury rehabilitation, and medicine.
