What is "neuromechanics"

n. (context anatomy physiology English) The study of the interaction of the nervous system with mechanical activity of the body

As originally proposed by Enoka, neuromechanics is a field of study that combines concepts from biomechanics and neurophysiology to study human movement. Neuromechanics examines the combined roles of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems and how they interact to produce the motion required to complete a motor task.

Muscles signals stimulated by neurological impulses are collected using electromyography (EMG). These muscle signals are indicative of neural activity. In certain instances, EMG data can be indicative of neuroplasticity and learning of motor tasks. The muscular system, specifically skeletal muscle, creates movement around bone joints, and the central nervous system is imperative in directing skeletal muscles in motor movements.
