BME 472 - HUMAN BIOMECHANICS

Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering

Credit(s): 3

This course presents an engineering-based approach to the quantitative study of the human musculoskeletal system. Principles involving static and dynamic mechanical analyses will be applied to quantify the forces and moments in human posture and movement. Study of the material and biological properties of the musculoskeletal system is included because they are intimately coupled to the formulation and interpretation of problems in static and dynamic biomechanics.

Prereq: BME 350, EM 221, EM 313, Engineering Standing; or consent of instructor.
