- Objectives: 1) Detailed treatment of tissue biomechanics, including stress-strain behavior and associated testing techniques2) Address relevant anatomical structures and their relationship to observed biomechanical behavior3) Examine factors that influence observed biomechanical behavior, including aging, disease processes, wound healing, and genetics4) Examine soft tissue and hard tissue injury biomechanics5) Familiarization with information sources related to biomechanics
- Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:1) Describe how engineering biomechanics relates to tissue biomechanics2) Explain biomechanical testing techniques, including tissue loading scenarios, sample preparation, and data analysis3) Identify relevant anatomical features of soft tissues and hard tissues and their relationship to observed biomechanical properties4) Explain how aging, genetics, gender, and lifestyle/occupational factors influence biomechanical properties5) Explain wound healing, fracture healing, new tissue formation, and related issues and their relationship to biomechanical properties6) Understand mechanisms of injury, including injury thresholds7) Access biomechanical literature
- Major Topics: 1) Review of basic engineering mechanics and associated testing techniques2) Biomechanical testing techniques3) Soft tissue biomechanics: basic tissue components4) Soft tissue biomechanics: specific examples (tendons, ligaments, etc.)5) Tissue growth, wound healing, and related topics6) Aging, gender, genetic, and lifestyle/occupational influences7) Injury biomechanics8) Hard tissue biomechanics: basic tissue components9) Bone biomechanics10) Fracture healing, bone growth, and related topics11) Information sources in biomechanics
