GBMA Aims
The group is composed by researchers and scientists working in the field of Biomechanics. GBMA aims to encourage, promote, and develop research and dissemination activities concerning the science of biomechanics, as well as it aims to promote, initiate, and support cooperation and interaction with other associations and bodies, operating both on the same topics, and – since the deeply interdisciplinary nature of the addressed issues- in affine sectors. Moreover, within the context of the activities promoted by AIMETA, GBMA encourages the knowledge transfer concerning results obtained through the methodological approaches of the theoretical and applied Mechanics towards clinical applications, biomedicine, and bioengineering.
