CNB Symposium 2019

Comparative biomechanics across organizational scales (tissues to whole body dynamics)

The inaugural CNB Symposium was held in conjunction with the ISB / ASB 2019 meeting in Calgary, AB, Canada (July 31 – August 4). This symposium highlighted a range of comparative studies across organizational scales from tissues to integrated systems and whole body dynamics. Speakers presented innovative research in comparative animal biomechanics and neuromechanics, highlighting the potential applications of their findings in more applied fields such as human sports science and rehabilitation, bio-inspired robotics and human-assistive devices.
