从神经肌肉骨骼功能到单个生物分子的运动，力学的定量原理已应用于各种长度范围，以回答基本问题以及与临床护理有关的问题。例如，运动分析（例如步态分析）可生成有关神经肌肉骨骼功能的定量信息，这对于理解疾病的病理生理学或运动医学以及治疗干预至关重要。随着最新技术的发展，运动科学/生物力学正在寻找新的翻译机会，例如假体设计或使用虚拟现实来辅助康复。在分子和细胞领域，运动科学/生物力学正在使用新型的先进工具来测量分子和细胞的作用力和运动学，以及这些实体如何促进诸如细胞迁移等基本过程或导致诸如关节炎的疾病。
Quantitative principles of mechanics are being applied across a range of length scales from neuro-musculoskeletal function to the movement of single bi- ological molecules in order to answer both fundamental questions as well as questions relevant to clinical care. For example, motion analyses, such as gait analysis, generate quantitative information on neuro-musculoskeletal function critical to understanding disease pathophysiology, or sports medicine as well as treatment interventions. With recent technological advances, motion sciences/biomechanics is finding new translational opportunities such as prosthesis design or the use of virtual reality to aid rehabilitation. At the molecular and cellular, motion sciences/biomechanics are using new sophisticated tools to mea-sure the forces and kinematics of molecules and cells and how these entities facilitate such fundamental processes as cell migration or contribute to diseases such as arthritis.
