ABOUT ANZSB

The Society was founded in February 1996 to be a forum for biomechanists from a variety of disciplines, or areas of study, within Australia and New Zealand, to meet and communicate. We are a registered society and our ABN is 80 205 005 217. There are many areas in biomechanics including, for example, motor control, cardiovascular and respiratory biomechanics, rehabilitation biomechanics, sport biomechanics, bone and hard tissue biomechanics, connective tissue biomechanics, orthopaedic biomechanics, and cellular and molecular biomechanics, to name just some. We hope that ANZSB will be a forum for all areas of biomechanics to exchange ideas and experience.
