| Course description |
|
Biomechanics is a field of study that aims to elucidate the function and structure of living organs and the mechanisms of their maintenance and control from a mechanical viewpoint, and to apply the findings to the development of medical technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The objective of this lecture is to acquire methods for analyzing and evaluating functional changes in hard and soft tissues of living organisms due to diseases and injuries from a mechanical point of view, while being exposed to the latest research results in the field of biomechanics. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to understand the importance of considering the response of living organisms from a mechanical perspective. For example, students will acquire the ability to understand the in vivo mechanical field and consider how it leads to growth and injury of tissues and various diseases. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |
