The objective of the course is to introduce students to original scientific articles in the fields of gait analysis (pathological/normal), sports biomechanics, ergonomics/work environment, muscle and tendon mechanics, tissue biomechanics, motor control and simulation. Students will also perform a practical assignment addressing a specific and classical problem associated with the biomechanics of the locomotor system. Through reading of articles, student presentations and discussions, students shall achieve a critical understanding of problems of basic and applied research concerning the biomechanics of the locomotor system. There will be special focus on the anatomy of the hip joint and the low back, which will be modeled by the use of finite elements (FE). Furthermore, the objective is that students acquire a thorough overview of existing knowledge and methods of modern biomechanical research so that they may themselves initiate independent scientific projects at master thesis level. En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
