BIOMECHANICS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT

BME/ME 415

Course Description

An overview of experimental and modeling techniques used to study human movement. Specific topics will include locomotion, motion capture systems, force plates, muscle mechanics, musculoskeletal modeling, three dimensional kinematics, inverse dynamics, forward dynamic simulation and imaging based biomechanics. Homework and laboratory activities emphasize applications of movement biomechanics in orthopedics and rehabilitation.
