This course provides an introduction to the mechanical properties of human muscle, how those properties can be incorporated into muscle models, and how those models can be used to evaluate the importance of these properties in human movement.
This course is designed to help students develop an understanding of the mechanical and physiological properties and principles underlying the development of human musculoskeletal models and the use of these models to simulate human movement.
