376-1397-00LOrthopaedic Biomechanics Information 4 credits3GR. Müller, K. S. Stok, G. H. Van Lenthe
AbstractThis course is aimed at studying the mechanical and structural engineering of the musculoskeletal system alongside the analysis and design of orthopaedic solutions to musculoskeletal failure.
Learning objectiveTo apply engineering and design principles to orthopaedic biomechanics, to quantitatively assess the musculoskeletal system and model it, and to review rigid-body dynamics in an interesting context.
ContentEngineering principles are very important in the development and application of quantitative approaches in biology and medicine. This course includes a general introduction to structure and function of the musculoskeletal system: anatomy and physiology of musculoskeletal tissues and joints; biomechanical methods to assess and quantify tissues and large joint systems. These methods will also be applied to musculoskeletal failure, joint replacement and reconstruction; implants; biomaterials and tissue engineering.

Abstract6-months research study with topics from the major in biomechanics.
Learning objectiveThe student shall apply his basic knowledge in a practical scientific study. He/she will be confronted with the requirements of scientific working and must master these requirements.
ContentThe content of the master thesis is determined by the supervisor together with the student. The thesis can begin only after the approval by the Vertiefungsleiter.
Prerequisites / NoticeThe master thesis can only be started after the Bachelor Degree is obtained and the Vertiefungsleiter has approved the study. The master thesis can be combined with the practical work.
