Prerequisites a student should comply with

The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics welcomes students who have a strong interest in all aspects of human movement and loading patterns during daily activities and sport in order to understand musculoskeletal loading and overloading, including physiological and pathological movement patterns, injury mechanisms, as well as approaches to improve sporting performance. I target students who have affinity towards biomechanics, including medical devices, biomechanical technology and computational methods. Students should possess a solid background in coding and mechanics, while an interest in physics, mathematics, electronics is also advantageous.

Research projects of the group

Primarily based on the biomechanics of human movement and functional performance including:

  • examination of skeletal and joint implant kinematics using motion capture and fluoroscopic techniques
  • investigation of sport performance and musculoskeletal injury mechanics
  • non-invasive assessment of bone adaptation to functional demands
  • examination of kinematic and kinetic perturbations to neuromotor control and outcome
  • remote systems for the sensitive assessment of pathological movement patterns
