KIN 822 (01) - Applied Biomechanics

This course provides students with a background in the fundamental biomechanical principles that describe and govern human movement. Topics of the course include friction, linear and angular motion, tissue material properties, conservation of energy, work and power, fluid mechanics, stability and center of gravity, mechanics of injury, walking and running gait analysis. These topics are taught through the lens of modern biomechanical analyses including dynamometry, electromyography, accelerometry, and optical motion analysis.
