The International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) was formed to promote the study of all areas of biomechanics at the international level, although special emphasis is given to the biomechanics of Human Movement. The Society encourages international contacts amongst scientists, promotes the dissemination of knowledge, and forms liaisons with national organizations.
The European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) was founded at a meeting of 20 scientists from 11 countries in Brussels on May 21, 1976. The participants decided to create a new society, the European Society of Biomechanics. The primary goal of the ESB was formulated as "To encourage, foster, promote and develop research, progress and information concerning the science of Biomechanics.
The American Society of Biomechanics (ASB) was founded in October 1977. The purpose of the Society is to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among researchers in biomechanics.
The Taiwanese Society of Biomechanics has the purpose of promoting the research and development of biomechanics and cooperating with related organizations. Applications for membership in the Taiwanese Society for Biomechanics are considered by the Membership Committee quarterly.
ABOUT CLINICAL BIOMECHANICS
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of musculoskeletal biomechanics.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of musculoskeletal disorders and provides assistance to the clinician in the evaluation of treatment methods. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the link between clinic and laboratory by publishing biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of musculoskeletal disorders and which provides knowledge contributing to improved clinical management.
