Biomechanics is essentially based on various mechanical theories (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, etc.) applied to the study of biological systems. Since the Biomechanics course is open to an audience that is not necessarily expert in mechanics (doctors, orthopedists, physical therapists, etc.), it is necessary to introduce this audience to the basic concepts of rigid solid mechanics. In fact, the human body can be considered, as a first approximation, as a set of body segments (foot, leg, thigh, hip, torso, etc.) articulated with each other. These segments can be modeled by rigid solids in order to study aspects related to the static balance of the body, such as its movements, shocks, and traumatology.
