Objectives: After studying this series, the students will be able to

  1. identify the functions of the musculoskeletal system and its relationship to mechanical properties
  2. describe the mechanical properties of different viscoelastic materials in the musculoskeletal system
  3. describe the adaptive response of the viscoelastic materials under different loading conditions
  4. identify the factors that affect the mechanical properties of the viscoelastic materials in the musculoskeltal system
