Biomechanics is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand the mechanics of living organisms ranging from cells to whole organisms. Since biomechanics is a relatively new and niche field, there are not too many synonyms for it. However, some related terms or fields can be associated with biomechanics. For example, kinesiology is the study of human movement and the related biomechanics. Another related field is ergonomics, which focuses on the design of objects and the physical environment for human use. Additionally, some synonyms or related terms for some specific branches of biomechanics include orthopedics, sports biomechanics, and cardiovascular biomechanics.
