Abstract
Diversity drives creativity and innovation. STEM fields, including those of biomechanics and motor control, are perceived as male-dominant domains (1). This perception is supported by the fact that men currently make up 73% of the STEM-skilled workforce (2, 3) and 70% of professional biomechanics societies (4, 5). Successful women serving as role models can inspire and encourage traditionally underrepresented groups to pursuit STEM disciplines and remain in the field (6). This Research Topic on “Women in Biomechanics and Control of Human Movement: 2022–2023” celebrates the high-quality research performed by women in the field, with the hope of inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders.
