KAAP 628 - Biomechanical Analyses with Visual3D

Credit(s): 3

BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSES V3D
Component: Lecture
This course aims to introduce students to Visual3D - a computation tools commonly used in biomechanics research. Using motion capture data as a framework, key concepts covered by this course include model building, event identification and metric quantification, kinematic and kinetic data extraction, scripting and automation, and data aggregation and file management. A key focus of this class will be teaching the underlying mathematical concepts and generalized approaches employed by Visual 3D, with a goal of preparing students to collect, process, and troubleshoot traditional biomechanics laboratory data.
