Applied Biomechanics

Catalog description

This course provides students with a foundation in the biomechanical concepts and applications that describe and govern human movement. Topics of the course will include, but are not limited to: friction, linear and angular motion, tissue mechanical properties, conservation of energy, work and power, fluid mechanics, stability and center of gravity, walking and running gait analysis. Topics are analyzed quantitatively through the use of modern biomechanical analyses including motion capture, electromyography, and force plates.
