Upcoming Events
The 10th World Congress of Biomechanics will feature a rich scientific and social program bringing together our global research community.
The 10th World Congress will serve as the 2026 meeting of 3 principal partners: the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB), the Canadian Society of Biomechanics/Société Canadienne de Biomécanique (CSB/SCB), and the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB).
Research
We investigate the mechanical drivers of osteoarthritis progression and surgical outcomes to develop and apply advanced biomechanical and computational models for risk prediction.
Modeling & Simulation
Advancing scientific understanding of movement dynamics through computational and biomechanics modelling techniques.
Arthroplasty innovation
Integrating cutting-edge technology to advance advancing arthroplasty surgery, a commonly used treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis.
Translational tools for clinical uptake
Transforming clinical care pathways through innovative biomechanics tool development.
Running biomechanics
Uncovering new biomechanics insights by applying laboratory-based modalities to real-world contexts.
