Engineering of musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation
This course presents today research questions and methods associated to the musculoskeletal system, its pathologies, and treatment.
Numerical methods in biomechanics
Students understand and apply numerical methods (FEM) to answer a research question in biomechanics. They know how to develop, verify and validate multi-physics and multi-scale numerical models. They can analyse and comment results in an oral presentation and a written report.
