Biomechanics is essentially based on the various mechanics theories (solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, etc.) applied to the study of biological systems. Since the Biomechanics course is open to a public that is not necessarily an expert in mechanics (doctors, orthopedists, physiotherapists, etc.), it is necessary to introduce to this public the basic notions of rigid solid mechanics. Indeed, the human body can be considered, to a first approximation, as a set of body segments (foot, leg, thigh, hip, bust, etc.) articulated together. These segments can be modeled by rigid solids in order to study aspects related to the static equilibrium of the body, such as its movements, shocks and traumatology.
