Mechanical Engineering (MECH) Courses>Introduction to Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

MECH448 - Introduction to Musculoskeletal Biomechanics

Description

Engineering analysis of musculoskeletal (MSk) systems. Study of basic MSk anatomy and nomenclature, effects of muscle, bone, tendons, and ligaments on MSk biomechanics. Biomechanical kinematic and force via first principles and spatial transformation methods. Technologies and methods used to assess MSk biomechanical variables. Applications of above concepts to computer assisted surgery and computational modelling.
