Course Description
This course provides a background in muskuloskeletal anatomy and principles of biomechanics. The course builds on the concepts gained in Statics and Dynamics for human activities from onside, and biology and biochemistry from the other side. Topics include: Introduction about biomechanics and solving biomechanical problems. Modeling human performance (static, quasi-static, and dynamic approaches). The overall loading of the musculoskeletal system during functional activities. Methods of estimation of forces in the joints and muscles and evaluation of the endurance of human tissues under traumatic loading conditions. The course includes basic experiments of biomechanics (testing the mechanical properties of biological tissues)
