What Is Occupational Biomechanics?

People are a carrier of life. Due to the different occupational nature of people, people will change their own human body functions caused by the regular mechanical environment, which will affect their professional ability. This influence is divided into positive influence and negative influence. For example, athletes' physical training is a positive influence, and they have the ability to become professional athletes through a reasonable training plan completed. Another example is that the daily training of pilots is also a positive biomechanical effect: it gradually meets professional requirements by adapting to the special loads encountered by the aircraft during travel, such as rollover, rotation, and sudden changes in acceleration. Of course, biomechanics will not only have a positive effect on the occupation of the crowd, but also cause a negative impact on them. For example, in the daily training process, the moment of water entering the head and feet can easily cause water to directly slap on the eyes. This slap of the diver may cause contusion of the fundus, and long-term training will develop into a retinal hole or even detachment. Many divers end their sports careers early because of retinal detachment. Another example is the common tennis elbow of tennis players, which is caused by chronic laceration caused by repeated exertion of forearm extensor muscles. The patient may feel pain in the affected area when holding or lifting the object hard. Tennis elbow is a classic example of overwork syndrome. The daily training of pilots involves extreme loads. They exert tremendous acceleration and impact on pilots. Therefore, impact injuries are very common diseases during pilot training, such as cervical spine, lumbar spine, brain and eye organs.
