BMEE 6310 Experimental Orthopedic Biomechanics

This course includes experimental, numerical, and theoretical orthopedic biomechanics and covers loads and motion in the musculoskeletal system, tissue mechanics, structural analysis, bone-implant systems, total hip replacements, total knee replacements, articulating surfaces, introduction to and utilization of a synchronized experimental biomechanics system consisting of a Motion Analysis System, Force Plates, and EMG system, computational packages in orthopedic biomechanics, and computer-aided design of implants. Labs for investigating muscle activity, ground reaction forces, and kinematic data for tasks such as walking, squatting, and running are included in the course.
