Human Movement Analysis

4.0 credits

This course introduces fundamental principles and methodological approaches for quantifying 3D human movement mechanics. Course content will include inverse dynamics computation of joint forces, moments, and mass centers; study design for human subject biomechanics studies; biomechanical data collection using both traditional and wearable technologies (such as 3D motion capture, force plates, and pressure insoles); and quantitative analysis and interpretation of human movement mechanics data.
