This course combines techniques of kinematic and dynamics analysis of mechanical systems and understanding of biological and human systems to provide advanced skills in the modelling of musculoskeletal and biomechanical systems. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, inverse and forward dynamics, modelling and analysis of biomechanical and musculoskeletal systems, mathematical models, physical models, model assumptions, model validation, biomechanical system simulation, and clinical relevance of studies. Resolution of redundant forces by indeterminate methods using optimization approaches will be introduced. [Offered: W] Prereq: SYDE 182, 384
