Students of mechanical and industrial engineering as well as students of the study course Health-Technics-Communication
Contents:
1 Kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies for the description of movements
2 Statics and kinematics of the human musculoskeletal system
3 Mechanical properties of the passive human musculoskeletal system
4 Relations between shape or structure and the mechanical function of the human musculoskeletal system
5 Presentation of the potentialities of biomechanics for the design and optimisation of implants and prostheses
