In this lesson, I explain the mechanical principles of simple machines- levers, pulleys, angle of pull, effort arm, weight arm, and mechanical advantage. You’ll see how these concepts directly relate to human movement, with examples like elbow flexion, heel raise, and head nodding. This video is especially helpful for physiotherapy students, clinicians revising biomechanics, and anyone preparing for exams.
