The course is focused on mechanics of musculoskeletal system. Lectures follows heirarchical structure of musculoskeletal system, where knowledge on one level could facilitate understanding of upper levels.

Anatomy and structure of muscle

Molecular basis of muscle contraction

Hill's experiment and muscle model

Advanced rheological models of muscle

Fenomological models of muscle

Muscle groups and muscle redundancy

Inverse dynamic analysis

Optimization of muscular activity

Forward dynamic analysis

Principles of motion capture

Experiment in muscular biomechanics - videoanalysis

Experiment in muscle biomechanics - IMU

Principles of electromyography
