BE 502 Advanced Biomechanics
This course provides students with advanced topics of traditional and contemporary biomechanics. Study will address mechanisms by which experimental and computational biomechanics investigate human and joint dynamics (kinetics and kinematics) and its association to ergonomics, orthopedic and sports biomechanics. Selected topics will include: biological materials, measurement techniques, advanced force system analysis, energy considerations, simulation using musculoskeletal models, optimization of inverse and forward dynamics, and applications of finite element techniques in biomechanics.
