BIOMECHANICS

KINES 227

Designed to provide students with a foundational knowledge in musculoskeletal anatomy and anatomical considerations related to human movement and physical activity.

KINES 308

Provides a comprehensive study of biomechanical foundations and principles underlying physical activity. Topics include musculoskeletal determinants of human movement, analysis of sports skills, feedback, and cueing techniques. Includes descriptions and applications of biomechanical concepts related to skillful movement, physical activity, and fitness.

BME/ME 415

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.

KINES 951

Seminar topics in field of biomechanics.

KINES 318

Analysis of human action through the application of mechanical principles.
