Description:
In this course, students learn about the components of the neuromuscular system and its dynamic model, and learn about the general and topical issues in controlling human movements and the role of the central nervous system in it. This course also covers topics such as functional electrical stimulation and the exoskeleton system.
Syllabus:
- Introduction: Introducing the components of the nervous-skeletal-muscular system
- Kinematics and dynamics of the skeletal-muscular system
- The function of the skeletal-muscular system in combination with the sensory and motor system
- Introducing the electromyogram signal and its function and application in controlling voluntary movements
- The role of central nervous system and spinal cord in movement control
- Introducing and examining the methods of modeling and controlling hand and foot movements
- Additional topics: functional electrical stimulation and exoskeleton system
