Programme

Know how to identify the biomechanical model of the human body and be able to determine the most appropriate geometric and inertial parameters. Know the conceptual and mathematical tools useful for representing human motion in virtual reality and to describe joint kinematics. Being able to estimate the joint moments and forces acting on the hard and soft passive tissues transmitted by the muscles during movement. Being able to describe a motor act using the language of the mechanical work and energy. Understanding the biomechanics of human joints an= d spine. Know the biomechanics of physical activities of daily living such as walking, climb and descent of stairs, getting up and sitting etc. Know the basic biomechanical principles to describe and evaluate sports paradigma tic gestures (jumping, throwing, hitting). Being familiar with the tools that allow the measurement of human movement and external forces. Being familiar with the laboratory of movement analysis and experimental protocols. Knowing how to assess risks for the locomotor apparatus in sport and at work. Acquiring the ability to design an experimental procedure, based on the us= e of these instruments and protocols, for clinical purposes or with reference to sport and ergonomics
