Modeling and Simulation of Human Movement.

Catalog description

Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Prerequisites: EGRB 203 and EGRB 209 , both with a minimum grade of C. Enrollment is restricted to biomedical engineering majors or with permission of instructor. This course explores the principles and practices regarding musculoskeletal modeling and simulation of human movement. Students will learn the components of musculoskeletal models and how these models are developed and validated. The course will cover computer algorithms that are used to develop simulations of human movement and how simulations can be applied to develop new technologies, devices and understanding. Learning is achieved through a series of lectures, tutorials, reading, webinars and computer simulation exercises.
