atories are built and more drastic advances are made due to computer technology and more attention to the field is created. This history of mechanics gives a good idea of where this study is headed. Biomechanics has gotten more attention in the past forty years than it ever has, and this attention is going to increase (1995).
             Biomechanics: The Magazine of Body Movement and Medicine gives many different uses for biomechanics. Biomechanics uses the laws of physics and engineering concepts to quantitatively assess the forces that are acting on the various body segments during normal activities (November 2001). In the human factors or ergonomics context these assessments are usually performed in light of industrial or occupational work requirements. One major cost associated with modern manufacturing is worker's compensation (November 2001). These compensation costs often become excessive because of the design of the manufacturing process-human interface. Industry often requires workers to work in postures and under condi
