BIO 220 V - Intro Human Biomechanics

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 3

Biomechanics is a field which uses mechanical analyses to investigate biological problems. Biomechanics involves combining what we know about the anatomy and physiology of the body, and physics to investigate problems. It is an increasingly popular field of study, as it has applications in health, prosthetic design, ergonomics, athletics, and computer gaming. Students who complete this course will study the methods that are currently used in investigating human biomechanical problems. Topics covered will include: mechanical and structural properties of living tissues, loads applied to joints, common sports injuries and treatments, linear and angular kinematics, linear and angular kinetics, equilibrium and torque. Cross-listed PHYS220

Prerequisite(s): C or better in MATH 114A or Placement level 3 or consent of instructor.
