The discussion delves into the biomechanics of the spine and how different movements and loads can affect spinal health and contribute to back pain.
The podcast episodes provided demonstrate the relevance of biomechanics across a variety of domains, from understanding human movement and preventing injuries to designing advanced robotic systems.
Several episodes, such as Why do people move their arms when they walk?, Exploring the Root Causes of Chronic Back Pain, and Golden Harper on Running Biomechanics, focus directly on the biomechanical principles underlying human movement and the implications for health and performance.
Other episodes, such as Marc Raibert on Boston Dynamics and Robotics, explore how the study of biomechanics in nature can inform the design and control of legged robots, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of this field.
