biomechanically
In motion-mechanics terms
In a manner relating to the mechanical principles of living organisms—how bodies move, bear loads, and transfer force.
The term appears in discussions of athletics, physical therapy, and injury prevention: The pitcher's motion was biomechanically sound.
Engineers study how joints and muscles work biomechanically to design better prosthetics and ergonomic equipment.
