Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung


This course will offer an overview in the field of Applied Biomechanics an its underlying methods, especially focusing on motion and gait analyses. As defined by Nigg and Herzog (Nigg & Herzog, 2007, p. 2) Biomechanics can be describe as "...the science that examines forces acting upon and within a biological structure and effects produced by such forces". Therefore this course will offer theoretical and practical insight into methods for two- and three-dimensional analyses of kinematics and kinetics. Further there will be a short introduction into the field of Electromyography.

Following topics will be discussed:

* Introduction into methods of motion and gait analyses
* Measurement of two-dimensional kinematics during gait
* Three-dimensional kinematics
* Biomechanics of standing - postural sway
* Ground reaction force during normal gait
* Kinetic parameters during gait
* Introduction into Electromyography

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel


There is a continuous assessment of course work including:

* Group works and reports
* Short term paper and summary of captured data and analyses
* Participation in lecture, discussion and in practical work in the laboratory

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab


* Provide students with a basic understanding of biomechanics during gait and standing and methods for measuring / estimating kinematics and kinetics.
* Students can carry out simple (two-dimensional) motion analyses and can estimate kinematics (and kinetics) of body segments using Excel and Kinovea.
* Students understand the basic modeling approaches which are used in motion and gait analyses and their limitations.
* Students understand the essence of problems in (human) motion analysis and have an idea of the methodical issues.
*Deeper insight into the problems is provided by recommendations of suitable literature.

Prüfungsstoff


* oral presentation and discussion
* group work: analyses of given data and examples
* group work: capturing data in the Biomechanics Laboratory
