• Description:
  The International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) was founded in 1973 to promote the study of all areas of biomechanics at the international level, although special emphasis is given to the biomechanics of Human Movement. The Society promotes the dissemination of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, physiology, orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, sport medicine, ergonomics, and electro-physiology. The unifying philosophy is that principles of mechanics are key to our understanding of musculoskeletal injuries, occupational health and human performance. The 2005 meeting of the International Society of Biomechanics was the first time in over a decade that the ISB had held its meeting in the USA. There were three main objectives of ISB2005. First, up-to-date breakthroughs in the field of biomechanics were critically reviewed. These areas included (i) protective measures to reduce or prevent impact injuries, (ii) problems of diabetic neuropathy, and (iii) functional tissue engineering. Second, through the use of conference tutorials, student breakfasts and workshops, considerable efforts were directed towards student educational needs. Third, efforts were established to lay the foundation for continued exchange of information and ideas among researchers in biomechanics. As an example of this, an initiative to set up an orthopedic biomechanics laboratory in Tanzania was conceived of, and implemented, following the 2005 ISB Conference. [Description provided by NIOSH]
