Syllabus
Syllabus mentioned in ERP
Introduction to Biomechanics: Basic terminology and concept of human musculoskeletal system, anatomy and overall function. Biomechanics of Tissues and Structures of musculoskeletal system – composition, structure and biomechanical behaviour: bone, articular cartilage, muscle, tendon and ligament.; Biomechanics of joints – structure, range of motions, musculoskeletal model of forces: (i) hip; (ii) knee; (iii) shoulder; (iv) elbow; (v) spine. Lubrication of joints. Motion and gait analysis – method, gait cycle, segmental kinetics, engineering approaches to posture analysis. Joint replacement and fracture fixation – stress analysis and basic design approach, failure mechanisms, wear in joint arthroplasty, bone remodelling, biomaterials – properties and application.
Concepts taught in class
Student Opinion
There is an NPTEL course with the name Biomechanics of Joints and Orthopaedic Implants. Same content and same slides.
Honest opinion, if taught by SG- teaching not good. TA might also give load with the course project. Take the course with caution.
