Advanced Principles and Instrumentation in Biomechanics

Catalog description

Presents biomechanical concepts important to the study of human movement and activity and explores the instrumentation used in this study. Discusses and applies biomechanical principles including Newton's laws, anthropometrics, statistics, dynamics, material properties, kinetics and kinematics. Instrumentation such as electromyography, accelerometers, force transducers, optical sensor and force plates are discussed and utilized in the study of human movement. Discusses the design, implementation and calibration of these instruments.
