Description

Students study the theory and practice of human movement measurement.

The course is taught through lectures and laboratory sessions. Students learn 2D video measurement techniques and how to apply these to the study of human movement. Electromyography, force, temporo-spatial, balance and postural measurement and analysis methods are studied, as well as instrumentation data processing and analysis methods.

Methods for the study of human movement and skills, including gait, electromyography and sporting skills are covered in laboratory sessions.
