Biomechanics an Alternative Perhaps?

Hi Cameron,

I wish I could disagree with you reference this subject but I cannot?

I look at a person standing never mind walking and the different forces, turning moments/shearing and viscosity ever changing forces that are needed in simple balance? I wonder whether Biomechanics will ever be more than a rule of thumb, an art/technique.

Should we not be looking at the Aircraft and it's Computer, in some of these cases of inability to stand and walk. Developing fly by wire in some of the extreme cases of leg and foot perhaps!!!

But this of course would move Biomechanics out in the initial stages to the fields of the Clinical Scientist and Orthopaedic Surgeon I strongly suspect, unpopular as this suggestion might be. The stuff of scientific fiction perhaps??? Depends on the market place and how it values walking!

Regards,

Colin.
