ENME 523 - Biomechanics Of Joints - Winter 2017

Introduction to musculoskeletal biomechanics, including experimental and analytical approaches to movement analysis, experimental instrumentation and devices, and joint dynamics. Analysis of the contribution of external loading, forces generated by muscles and constraints provided by other musculoskeletal structures to predict forces and stresses in musculoskeletal joints and tissues. Numerical and modelling approaches, including inverse dynamics, and optimization, and determination of segmental inertial properties. Applications in orthopaedic engineering, movement assessment, ergonomics and joint injury and replacements.
