( Biomechanics for prosthetics and orthotics students)

  • Course Description :

    ​

    This course provides background in musculoskeletal anatomy and principles of
    biomechanics. In particular, the course is designed to provide the students with an
    understanding of Newtonian mechanics to human movement analysis. Particular focus
    will be given to application of stress and strain analysis to biological tissues, analysis of
    forces in human function and movement, energy and power in human activity. Finally,
    the course will challenge students' higher thinking capabilities, as they will be asked to
    design a biomechanical model to solve a problem related to prosthesis and/or orthosis.​
