| Abstract | Delivery of practical insight into research methods relevant to the field by means of demonstrations and small projects in the areas of Human Movement Science and Sport, Medical Technology, Molecular Health Sciences, and Neurosciences. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students can experience research methods that may arise in the field of Health Sciences and Technology. | ||||
| Content | - Human Movement Science and Sport: movement analysis, biomechanical measurement techniques - Medical Technology: prostheses - Molecular Health Sciences: metabolism, behaviour - Neurosciences: neurological measurement techniques, neurorehabilitation - Clinical Research | ||||
| 376-0203-AAL | Movement and Sport Biomechanics Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course! | 4 credits | 3R | S. Lorenzetti, W. R. Taylor | |
| Abstract | Learning to view the human body as a (bio-) mechanical system. Making the connections between everyday movements and sports activity with injury, discomfort, prevention and rehabilitation. | ||||
| Learning objective | "Students are able to describe the human body as a mechanical system. They analyse and describe human movement according to the laws of mechanics." | ||||
| Content | Movement- and sports biomechanics deals with the attributes of the human body and their link to mechanics. The course includes topics such as functional anatomy, biomechanics of daily activities (gait, running, etc.) and looks at movement in sport from a mechanical point of view. Furthermore, simple reflections on the loading analysis of joints in various situations are discussed. Additionally, questions covering the statics and dynamics of rigid bodies, and inverse dynamics, relevant to biomechanics are investigated. | ||||

| 376-1651-00L | Clinical and Movement Biomechanics | 4 credits | 3G | S. Lorenzetti, R. List, N. Singh | |
| Abstract | Measurement and modeling of the human movement during daily activities and in a clinical environment. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students are able to analyse the human movement from a technical point of view, to process the data and perform modeling with a focus towards clinical application. | ||||
| Content | This course includes study design, measurement techniques, clinical testing, accessing movement data and anysis as well as modeling with regards to human movement. | ||||
| 376-2019-00L | Applied Movement Analysis | 2 credits | 2G | R. Scharpf, S. Lorenzetti | |
| Abstract | Based on practical examples out of sport, everyday movement and therapy, students use and compare different methods of movement analysis. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students are able to assess human movement using different methods of movement analysis. | ||||
| Content | During the course students get acquainted with different methods of movement analysis such as: functional, morphological, clinical, mechanical, and others. Based on practical examples, these methods are used and compared. The examples range from sport, everyday movement and therapy, such as hockey, gymnastics, acrobatics, badminton, gait / running and strength training. In the first phase of the class, the different approaches are applied. In the second phase, small teams are working on individual projects. These will be discussed and presented in plenum. | ||||
| Lecture notes | Class material will be distributed using the moodle platform. | ||||
