The primary purpose of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) is to promote and stimulate the development of biomechanics at the international level. ISB recognizes that numerous national and regional societies of biomechanics or related topics have emerged in various parts of the world. In some countries several biomechanics societies exist which represent sub disciplinary interests. Future enhancement of the quality and scope of biomechanics research depends upon mutual co-operation and support of all of these groups. For these reasons, ISB has an Affiliate Society Membership code, explained more fully in the ISB's code of practice for affiliate societies.
