Description
The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics and Biomaterials module is divided into two components: Biomechanics and Biomaterials. Biomechanics studies the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system, by applying principles of mechanics. It introduces students to concepts of biomechanics and applies these concepts to human body movement, particularly those pertaining to gait, physical activity and loading to the joints. The biomaterials aspect of the module will introduce students to a spectrum of biomaterials used as medical devices in orthopaedic disorder treatment, biological-biomaterials interactions, host responses, and biomaterials evaluations.
