Antiquity – Greeks – Natural Philosophy<br />
Thales (624-545 B.C.)<br />
Pythagoras<br />
(582 B.C.) &<br />
Hippocrates<br />
(470-360 B.C.)<br />
From Nigg & Herzog (1994)<br />
Natural science detached from religion<br />
“…all things have form, all things are form, and all forms can be defined by<br />
numbers”<br />
Pythagoras believed that mathematical relations held the secrets of the<br />
universe, including music.<br />
Hippocrates’ emphasis on observation and experience of the senses<br />
pioneered the use of rational scientific thought in the practice of<br />
medicine.<br />

Antiquity – Greeks – Golden age<br />
Plato (427-347 B.C.) believed the world of senses to be an illusory shadow of<br />
reality. Ideas were the only reality, and true knowledge could not be obtained<br />
through the study of nature. The pursuit of truth required contemplation, not<br />
action.<br />
Politics and Ethics prevail.<br />
Knowledge & Myth<br />
Kinematics<br />
and Art;<br />
Surface<br />
Anatomy<br />
(Plato and Aristotle)<br />
Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) believed that mathematics provided a good model for a well-organized<br />
science, and that science is aimed to explain nature.<br />
Aristotle believed life was capable of mechanical expression. According to him, every motion<br />
presupposed a mover.<br />
All that is moved, should be moved by something else. The MOTOR must either be present within<br />
the mobile, or be in direct contact with it. Action at a distance was inconceivable.<br />
Aristotle's’ text About the Movement of Animals, described movement and locomotion (gait,<br />
muscular action,…) for the first time, based on observation.<br />
“… for just as the pusher pushes, so the pusher is pushed”
Historical highlights<br />
Antiquity – Greeks – The Hellenistic age<br />
Founded by the conquests of Alexander the Grate<br />
and the foundation of Alexandria (The Museum of Alexandria)<br />
Herophilos (300 B.C.) – Created the modern Anatomy and Physiology, with the systematic dissection.<br />
Erasistratis (280 B.C) – Applied physical concepts to the understanding of anatomy. Was the first to<br />
describe the muscles as organs of contraction.<br />
Archimedes (287-212 B.C.) – With a lever he will move the Earth if he have a place<br />
to stand to do so.<br />
Equilibrium of Planes – How to find the CG of parallelogram, triangle, trapezium<br />
Floating Bodies – Principles of water displacement<br />
“How to move a given weight by given force?”<br />
He dominated Statics and Hydrostatics until the time of Stevin (1548-1620) and<br />
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)<br />
Historical highlights<br />
Antiquity<br />
- Knowledge and myth were separated<br />
- Mechanical and mathematical paradigms were developed<br />
- Anatomical paradigms were developed<br />
- First biomechanical analysis of the human body was performed<br />
Historical highlights<br />
Antiquity – Greeks – The conquest by Rome<br />
Hero of Alexandria 62 ( A.D.) – Teaches Physics at Alexandria (Mechanics, Optics, Pneumatics) He used<br />
gases to invent mechanisms.<br />
The Aristotelic causes of movement<br />
Galen 131-201 ( A.D.) – Physician of the College of Gladiators, became probably the first Sport<br />
Physician in History.<br />
De Usu Partium (the Use of the Parts) is considered to be the first text on Physiology<br />
De Motu Musculorum (On the movement of muscles) established Myology. “…enervation that makes<br />
muscle substance into muscle proper” (the transmitters of the spiritus animalius from the brain into<br />
the muscle.<br />
He described tonus, and distinguished between agonistic and antagonistic muscles, and motor and<br />
sensory nerves.<br />
Historical highlights<br />
The Middle Ages (200 B.C.-1450 A.D.)<br />
Scientific Development decreased<br />
Religious and spiritual<br />
development increased<br />
Those were the ages of the ARAB scholars, saving knowledge by translating the texts from<br />
Greek to Arabic<br />
St. Augustine (354-430 A.D.) incorporated Neoplatonic doctrines into<br />
Christian beliefs.<br />
“… the only type of knowledge to be desired was the knowledge of God<br />
and the Soul, and no profit was to be had from investigating the realm of<br />
nature”<br />
St. Thomas Aquinas (1277) integrated Aristotelian philosophy into<br />
Christian beliefs, from the Arabic translations.<br />
Contributions of the MA to the development of <strong>Biomechanics</strong> are minimal.
Historical highlights<br />
The Italian Renaissance (1450-1527)<br />
The revival of ancient Greek Philosophy, Literature, Art and freedom of thought and<br />
ethics. Nevertheless a scientific community didn’t exist.<br />
The authority of the church was replaced by the authority of the<br />
ancients<br />
Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) and Machiavelli<br />
emerged as the Renaissance men.<br />
The parallelogram of forces, simple and compound forces, studied friction, and questioned<br />
Aristotle’s relationships between force, weight, and velocity.<br />
“… an object offers as much resistance to the air as the air does to the object”<br />
Da Vinci’s mechanical analysis of human movement included joints, muscles, bones, ligaments,<br />
tendons and cartilage. He discarded the Aristotelian theory of Pneuma. “Spiritual force” replaced<br />
it.<br />
Historical highlights<br />
The Italian Renaissance (1450-1527)<br />
- Scientific work was revived<br />
- The foundations of modern anatomy and physiology were laid<br />
- Movement and muscle action were studied as connected<br />
entities.<br />
Historical highlights<br />
The Italian Renaissance (1450-1527)<br />
Vasselius (1514-1564) – Was authorised to make dissections of<br />
cadavers of executed criminals and noticed that Galen’s anatomy<br />
mixed human and animal characteristics.<br />
De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem was published in 1543,<br />
in the same year as Copernico’s Revolutionibus Orbium<br />
Coelestium.<br />
Vesalius demonstrated that muscle shortens and become thicker<br />
during contraction.<br />
He consider muscle to be compose of the substance of the<br />
ligament and tendon, being divided into a great number of fibres<br />
Fallopius (1523-1562) – Was mainly devoted to fibrous tissues:<br />
“… motion requires a fibrous nature sin the actual body that is<br />
moved.”. He adopted the Galen’s theory that the Spiritus<br />
Animalis was the cause of muscular contraction, and carrier of<br />
the motor/spiritual function of the brain.<br />
Historical highlights<br />
The Scientific Revolution of the XVII th century<br />
Kings, Counts, wealthy families, Universities, and the Vatican supported men of science -<br />
Galileu Galilei (1564-1642), Kepler (1571-1630), Descartes (1596-1650), Newton (1642-1727)<br />
Intellectual freedom, as well as new ideas and finings were highly respected<br />
Experimentation becomes the cornerstone<br />
Galileu Galilei (1564-1642) – Showed that the rate of a fall is not a function of the falling object’s<br />
weight (Aristotelian approach).<br />
He was about to publish De Animaliam Motibus (The movement of animals), previously than<br />
Borelli’s De Motu Animalum (1680-81) by 40 years!<br />
He studied the biomechanics of human jump, the gait oh horses and insects, and human<br />
floatability conditions (Discourses on Two New Sciences, 1638).<br />
Scaling foundations were introduced (the three times sized animal femur).

output, experiments were laying the foundations of metabolism.<br />
William Harvey (1578-1657) – Discovered circulation, the capillaries<br />
connecting the arterial and venous circulation (without a microscope!), and<br />
the systole as the active action of the heart (against Gelen’s concept).<br />
Described the heart as a pump. He was the first “Cardiac Biomechanicist”.<br />
He died of a stroke.<br />
Renée Descartes (1596-1650) – Discovered the Cartesian Coordinate System observing a fly in<br />
the corner of the bedroom. One of the fathers of Mechanical Philosophy: “Changes observed in<br />
the natural world should be explained only in terms of motion and rearrangements of parts of<br />
matter” (L’homme, 1664, distinguish man from animals by the soul).<br />

Science was not organized as today: the current subdivision into disciplines started at that time!<br />

BIO MECHANICS<br />
Biomechanically, the HUMAN BODY can<br />
be defined as:<br />
A complex system of articulated<br />
segments where movement is<br />
produced by external forces, and by<br />
internal forces, acting out of the<br />
articular axes, that induces angular<br />
displacements of the segments<br />
