Not Repeatable
Introduces the development and simulation of data-driven 3D neuro-musculoskeletal models to quantitatively study human movement in health and disease. Topics include reconstructing 3D models from imaging data, estimating kinematics from motion data, simulating movement incorporating multimodality data, and analyzing muscle and joint forces. Students use computational biomechanics software. The course consists of lectures, article presentations, modeling assignments and a project.

Prerequisite(s): BENG 550 or permission of instructor.

Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
Hours of Lab or Studio per week: 0
When Offered: Spring
