## Core Methodology

### Problem
BioModule is a lightweight plug-in temporal transformer that attaches downstream of any 3D pose estimator and predicts biomechanical attributes from standard 17-joint 3D skeletons. It is estimator-agnostic and requires no modification of the upstream pose model, enabling existing pose estimators to be extended toward physically interpretable motion analysis.
