376-0203-00L | Movement and Sport Biomechanics | 4 credits | 3G | W. R. Taylor, R. List, S. Lorenzetti | |
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. | ||||
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. | ||||
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 ethical considerations, measurement techniques, clinical testing, accessing movement data and anysis as well as modeling with regards to human movement. | ||||
557-0131-00L | Laboratory Course in Excercise Biomechanics This course unit is compulsory for students of the specialised Master's programme in Biomechanics. Possible from the 6th semester on. | 3 credits | 4P | R. List, H. Gerber, S. Lorenzetti | |
Abstract | Selected experiments in Biomechanics. The practical course includes basic experiments to learn measurement methods and practical applications in Biomechanics. | ||||
Objective | Students can gain their first experience in the practical application of measurement methods in Biomechanics by means of basic experimentation. They also learn how to keep records in the laboratory journal. | ||||
Content | Various experiments are offered in the field of Biomechanics. | ||||
Lecture notes | Texts and further handouts will be provided. | ||||
