Dear all
I hope that you have enjoyed the summer.
It is a pleasure for me to announce our phd course: Biomechanics and Motor Control, at the Laboratory of Biomechanics and Motor Control, Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
International PhD course on Biomechanics and Motor Control
Time
20-23 October 2009
Aim of the course
* to present and discuss the current state-of-the-art in biomechanics and motor control
* to discuss methods used in the field of biomechanics and motor control and their applications in relation to sport and clinical topics
Target group
Phd students and researchers in the field of biomechanics and motor control
Content
The course is an international course on Biomechanics and motor control.
The course focuses on the mechanics and control of human movements as well as the mechanics of tissues and joints. Basic research in these areas will be presented and exercises in the laboratories include human movement analysis, performance testing and computational modeling. The content is directed towards sport as well as clinical problems including optimization of performance, rehabilitation and injury prevention.
Lecturer (the list below is not yet complete)
Professor Alberto E. Minetti, Department of Human Physiology, University of Milan. Italy. Topics: Muscle-tendon behaviour during locomotion
Senior Lecturer Madeleine Lowery, University College Dublin, Ireland. Topics: Modelling the Electromyogram: From cell to system. EMG- force relation.
Huub Maas, phd, Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, Vrieje University, Amsterdam, The Netherland. Topic: Transmission of force from muscle fibers to bone via myotendinous and myofascial pathways. Force transmission between adjacent muscles. Clinical significance.
Associate Professor Michael Voigt, phd, Department of Health Science and Technology, University of Aalborg. Denmark Methods in biomechanics and motor control including movement analysis, reflex methods, TMS, EMG array electrodes, electrical stimulation.. Topics:
