The aim is the development o f the specific competencies for the study of the biological systems from the bioengineering point of view. The presented approach deals with the chain biological system-model-measurement and is devoted to specific applications such as the diagnosis, the therapy, the rehabilitation, the ergonomics and the sport medicine. The aim is the acquisition of the competencies for the use of the biomedical instrumentation contained in a human movement laboratory. The students will be exposed to the main hardware and software tools needed to i) design measurement chains, ii) define the population under exam, iii) extract the information from the recorded data.
