Learning Outcomes

Basic understanding of the application of mechanical principles in biology, basic understanding of anatomical and biomechanical terminology, application of biomechanical principles to human movement, application of kinematic and kinetic measures to linear and angular human motion in order to quantify various aspects of movement, basic understanding of the mechanical properties of biological tissues and the techniques used to determine them.

Content

- Introduction to the Biomechanics of the Human Movement o Human body kinematics o Human body kinetics o Analysis of human movement: numerical and experimental methods o Gait analysis - Mechanics of Biological Tissues o Structure and function of biological tissues o Mechanical properties of biological tissues o Mechanical testing of biological tissues o Modelling and simulation of biological tissues (geometry, material behaviour, loading and boundary conditions, validation, data interpretation)
