BIOMECHANICS
Team Lead: Engr. Faisal Amin
Members: Ayub Khan, Dr. Sara Rehman, Shoaib Zafar, Abdul Malik Muhammad

Working:
Biomechanics is the study and application of physical laws on living organisms. It includes ergonomics, orthopedic biomechanics, sports mechanics, rehabilitation mechanics etc. The group of biomechanics has been involved in several research projects and led to publish numerous conference and journal articles of international repute. The titles of main ongoing projects are given below:
• Footwear Affects Biomechanical Work and Knee Adduction Moment during Stance Phase in Medial Knee Osteoarthritic Male Pakistani Adults
• Pushing a Manual Wheelchair Requires More Muscular Force than Pulling
• Effect of toe-out and toe-in postures on static standing balance • Effect of bunion on plantar pressure distribution
