PT 7010 — Measurement and Analysis of Human Movement and Bioinstrumentation
4 semester hoursGraduateLecture
Offers students an opportunity to learn how to measure kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activity using bioinstrumentation, including 3D motion capture system, force plates, and electromyography, as well as to learn signal conditioning and processing techniques and how to compute physiological variables such as joint angles, joint torques, ground reaction force, center of pressure, and center of mass. Topics include programming skills in LabVIEW and MATLAB. Students use this information to formulate solutions to biomechanical problems.
