Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

Catalog description

This course is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in biomedical engineering and other engineering disciplines. A background in mechanics, physiology, and programming is recommended. Topics will include muscle architecture and force generation, joint mechanics, modeling and simulation of movement, energetics and efficiency, and the role of neuromuscular control in coordination. Emphasis will be placed on quantitative analysis and computational approaches to studying human movement, preparing students to engage with current research and commercial applications in biomechanics, rehabilitation, sports science, and prosthetics development. Junior or Senior standing. Graduate Equivalent: BIEG 5328 .
