KIN 608 - Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury Units: 4 Examining the structure, composition and material behavior of the skeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament and muscle. Analysis of injury and degenerative changes associated with aging. Problem-based approach.
Strongly Recommended Preparation: Undergraduate Biomechanics. Possible Instructional Methods: Entirely On-ground. Grading: A-F grading only. Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to: - Understand and discuss normal mechanical function of muscle, bone, tendon, ligament and cartilage.
- Understand and discuss pathomechanics of injury and aging on muscle, bone, tendon, ligament and cartilage.
- Discuss current research topics in skeletal tissue biomechanics.
- Discuss experimental approaches used to assess skeletal tissue mechanics.
- Critically analyze current literature and utilize this literature to address common questions.
- Apply the knowledge of skeletal tissue biomechanics to current problems within the rehabilitation and fitness setting.
