Course Title:
Musculoskeletal Biomechanics
Course Description:
Emphasizes the quantitative analysis of human musculoskeletal system statics and dynamics, including gait analysis and estimation of the complex loads on human joint systems, in part one. Investigates how the form of connective tissue and bone is derived from function in part two. Integral to this investigation is a quantitative analysis of the material properties of bone, ligament, tendon, and cartilage. Students form groups in part three and select a relevant, current topic in musculoskeletal biomechanics to investigate and present results to the class.
