Episode 12: Orthopaedic Biomechanics

Seldom do we think of the body as a mechanism, preoccupied as we are with its underlying biological functions. How does viewing the body as a mechanism impact our approach to injury rehabilitation? In this episode, we learn about the field of biomechanics with our guest, Dr. Timothy Burkhart, and host, Tiffany Tiu. Dr. Burkhart provides us with an overview of his research in orthopaedic biomechanics and the various ways it intersects across disciplines such as sports medicine, orthopaedic surgery, injury rehabilitation, and medicine. rehabINK [https://rehabinkmag.com/podcast/] Transcript [https://rehabinkmagdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2023/07/episode-12-orthopaedic-biomechanics_otter_ai.pdf] Useful Links: Dr. Burkhart’s Faculty Page [https://kpe.utoronto.ca/faculty/burkhart-timothy] Social Media Information: Twitter and Instagram: @bosm_lab  Episode Credits Podcast Host: Tiffany Tiu Featured Speakers: Dr. Timothy Burkhart Executive Producer: Francis Routledge Audio Editors: Francis Routledge, Anna Huynh, Kate Kim, Tiffany Tiu   Production Team: Kyla Alsbury-Nealy, Jejociny Consalas, Anna Huynh, Mariya Kika, Kate Kim, Francis Routledge, Tiffany Tiu Music: Kyla Alsbury-Nealy, Benjamin Alsbury-Nealy                        Promotional Illustrations: Jejociny Consalas
