Course Overview

Biomechanics is a branch of science that studies the physics of living systems. This Biomechanics of Joints and Orthopaedic Implants online course aids in understanding the link between human joint anatomy and function, predicting changes as a result of modifications, and proposing artificial intervention approaches.

This Biomechanics of Joints and Orthopaedic Implants training is intended for B.Tech, M.Tech, and PhD students who would benefit from studying basic biomechanics principles, joint kinematics and kinetics, implant design and analysis, tissue mechanics and state-of-the-art modelling and simulation tools for biomechanical systems.

The Biomechanics of Joints and Orthopaedic Implants syllabus include biomechanics of the human joint and introduction to muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, etc. The course also includes healing of bone fractures, joint replacement, joint kinematics principles, etc. Candidates can enrol in the course and study for free. However, if the candidate wants a certificate, they will have to first register and then take the proctored test at one of the approved exam centres. The test is optional and costs Rs 1000.
