Laboratory Course in Movement Biomechanics
Praktikum Biomechanik
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:21:44
Abstract
Carrying out selected experiments in movement biomechanics.
Objective
Basic experiments in movement biomechanics will be used to gain initial experience in the practical application of a wide range of measurment methods and evaluation techniques. Furthermore, students will learn to present, interpret and discuss the results as well as to write a scientific report. The laboratory course in movement biomechanics is recommended for a master thesis in Biomechanics.
Content
Execution of a jump analysis using force plates as well as a clinical gait analysis with 3D motion capture including preparation, data acquisition, post-processing, interpretation of the results and writing a scientific report. The laboratory course is completed in groups of 2.
Resources
Lecture Notes
Handouts will be provided.
