BME 221 Intro to Biomechanics Lab
INTRODUCTION TO BIOMECHANICS LAB (1).This course focuses on the practical aspects of biomechanics that include stress strain characteristics of musculoskeletal system. This laboratory course will involve fundamental applications of the concept of vectors, internal and external forces, functional anatomy, and work and energy paradigm. In addition, students will also learn about experimental applications of kinematics and dynamics of human movement, viscoelasticity, and failure analysis from classical mechanics. The course will also include experiments on joint and muscle movements, fractures and failures. Students will be involved in current development in the field through scientific discussions, presentations/seminars, and paper. Prerequisites: Concurrent with BME 220 or consent of instructor.
