EGR 361 - Introduction to Biomechanics

Units: 3
When Offered: Fall
The course introduces biomechanical principles and their application from a quantitative and rehabilitation perspective. Primary topic areas will include kinematics and kinetics of human movement including modern measurement techniques in human movement science. A model-based description of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues and how biomechanical and neural factors interact in human movement will also be introduced. Labs will provide the student with an understanding of fundamental techniques used in biomechanical analyses and rehabilitation engineering design and development.
Grade Type: Letter Grade
