PTRS 765 ADVANCED BIOMECHANICS
The goals of this course are to provide students with: an overview of current problems in movement biomechanics; a description of the biomechanical tools needed to study human movement; an exposure to clinical research and practice, and; a framework for self-teaching and research. Topics covered in the course include muscle mechanics, joint mechanics, EMG and EEG signal applications, ultrasonography, anthropometry, human movement 3-D kinematics, inverse dynamics, work, power and energy. Biomechanical tools will be used to investigate clinical problems of neurorehabilitation and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Students also do research projects on related topics.
