Human Movement Biomechanics

Catalog description

(same as BIOL_EN 4375 ; cross-leveled with BIOL_EN 7375 ). The course introduces students to musculoskeletal biomechanics and the measurement and analysis of human movement. Students will learn fundamental concepts in motor control and movement biomechanics through experimental, analytical, and computational methods. Topics covered include 3D kinematics, motion capture, kinetics, inverse dynamics, gait analysis, ground reaction forces, electromyography, muscle and tendon mechanics, and human movement applications including sport biomechanics and injury. Graded on A-F basis only. Credit Hour s : 3 Prerequisites: MAE 2600 or ENGINR 2260
