HSC 445 Biomechanics Lab

1 Credit

This laboratory course for HSC 440 Biomechanics examines the physical characteristics of bone, muscle and joints as well as the normal and abnormal movement of the human body in relation to forces acting upon it. Through this study, the student gains an in-depth knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy. The application of physics to the production of movement constitutes the underlying theme for the entire course. The use of Newton’s Laws as a means to describe and analyze movement is also studied. In addition, the students learn about the latest innovations in motion analysis equipment.

Concurrent with HSC 440.
