Organisation
Human Movement Biomechanics Research Group
Division
Main organisation:Department of Movement Sciences
Lifecycle:1 Jul 2012 → Today
Organisation profile:
The central research area of the research group ‘human movement biomechanics’ is to investigate the mechanics of musculoskeletal function during gross motor functions (varying from activities of daily living, vocational activities to sports activities) and how the musculoskeletal function is reorganized and adapts to cope with these functions.
Keywords:Movement, Biomechanical
Disciplines:Human movement and sports sciences, Biomechanical engineering, Biomechanics
