MAE 5690
Clinical Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Tissues

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Review physiology and biomechanics of musculoskeletal tissues, focusing on skeletal muscle, ligament, and tendon and the relationship between the structure and mechanical function. Apply mechanics of materials to evaluate and solve clinical problems of musculoskeletal tissue. Determine how the tissues adapt to injury and degenerative changes.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisites: ENGRD 2020, MAE 2120, and MAE 3250, or permission of instructor.

Outcomes
