| Course Description | To make the students familiar with the main measurement and modelling methods for characterization of the musculuskeletal system, based on basic mechanical physics concepts and rigid body assumption. Increases the health science major's understanding of human movement and provides the foundation for critical analysis of physical activity and exercise. The approach includes the use of both quantitative and qualitative problems and applications that are designed to illustrate biomechanical principles. |
