International Society of Biomechanics

The International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) was founded at Penn State University on August 30, 1973 to promote the study of all areas of biomechanics at the international level. The ISB promotes and supports international contacts amongst scientists, the dissemination of knowledge, and the activities of national organizations in the field of biomechanics. The ISB has a broad view of the science and application of biomechanics, believing that biomechanics has a major role in the study of all biological systems, from the level of the whole organism down to molecular size scales. Therefore, the Society's membership includes scientists from a large variety of disciplines including anatomy, physiology, engineering (biomedical, mechanical, mechatronics, etc.), orthopedics, rehabilitation medicine, sports science, sports medicine, ergonomics, electrophysiological kinesiology and others.

Simi Reality Motion Systems - Consolior Kft.

Simi is the world's most accurate markerless 3D motion capture system, validated against gold standard methods in several studies.

Hungarian Athletics Association

The Hungarian Athletics Association (Hungarian: Magyar Atlétikai Szövetség, MASZ) is the governing body for the sport of athletics in Hungary.

MDPI - Publisher of Open Access Journals

Biomechanics (ISSN 2673-7078, CiteScore: 2.4, Impact Factor: 1.4, Q2: Rehabilitation) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of biomechanics, which can be described as the application of principles and methods of mechanics to the quantitative study of biological problems. Its research scope ranges from whole organisms to systems and organs (including blood, body fluids, organs, and bones) within the human body as well as animals and plants. Biomechanics publishes full research articles, reviews, and communications.

ReC Bioengineering Laboratories

The company has a strong research-oriented focus, grounding its activity on the leading technological and scientific experience of the Laboratory for Engineering of the Neuromuscular System (LISiN), Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy.

Hungarian Society of Biomechanics

The main goal of the society is to create a platform where Hungarian biomechanists can become familiar with each other’s work. Biomechanists often work in isolation and could greatly benefit from a scientific network. Synergistic activities among members could bring recognition and facilitate the establishment of knowledge centers.
