The role of computational biomechanics is summarized from a viewpoint of biomechanics modeling and analysis, and a couple of advanced problems are described. The first is the concept of model-based diagnosis that combines computational biomechanics analysis with experimental data. The second is the multi-scale modeling and analysis of structures and functions in biomechanics for biomedicine. The third is the subject-/patient-specific modeling supported by medical measurements and back/inverse analysis. These are key components for in silico medicine towards predictive medicine in the future.
