Engineering Biomechanics of Human Movement

Catalog description

Introduction to basic human movement involving kinematics, kinetics, and other quantitative analysis including linear and angular position, velocity, and acceleration. Emphasis on the muscular and skeletal systems as well as other basic human systems. Human capabilities and injuries will demonstrate the limitations of the human body. Learn equipment and measuring devices used to capture and quantify human movement using instrumentation such as motion capture, EMG, and force plates in the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab (NAPL).
