Canadian Society for Biomechanics / Société canadienne de biomécanique (CSB/SCB) was formed in 1973. The CSB is an Affiliated Society with the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB).
The purpose of the Society is to foster research and the interchange of information on the biomechanics of human physical activity.
Biomechanics research is being performed more and more by people from diverse disciplinary and professional backgrounds. CSB/SCB is attempting to enhance interdisciplinary communication and thereby improve the quality of biomechanics research and facilitate application of findings by bringing together therapists, physicians, engineers, sport researchers, ergonomists, and others who are using the same pool of basic biomechanics techniques but studying different human movement problems.
Famous quotes containing the words canadian and/or society:
“We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.”
—John Rhodes Sturdy, Canadian screenwriter. Richard Rossen. Joyce Cartwright (Ella Raines)
“The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of—career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
