Biomechanics: Analysis of Human Movement
COM HLT X 421.1
Based on the mechanical laws of applied physics, this course explores the analysis of movement of the human body.
Summer
What you can learn.
- Solve biomechanical problems using the laws of applied physics
- Interpret mechanical data as applied to human movement
- Analyze how musculoskeletal structures affect human movement
About this course:
This course covers the biomechanical analysis of human movement based on the mechanical laws of motion. By the end of the course, students are able to apply mechanical laws of applied physics to human movement, solve biomechanical problems using the laws of applied physics, and understand how musculoskeletal structures affect human movement.
