Apply mathematics and science in biomechanics.
Application should include
• the anatomy involved in systems biomechanics
• vector summation and vector decomposition
• the concept of moment to produce a rotation about a point
• stress and strain.
Process/Skill Questions:
• How do anatomical factors affect the result of applied forces?
• What are the forces applied in a given biological system?
• How does one account for stresses and strains in a biomechanical system?
• How does biomechanical stress and strain apply to everyday life?
