Dear all,
the Department of Physiotherapy, St. Poelten University of Applied Sciences, Austria (http://english.fhstp.ac.at/courses/bachelor/pt) is seeking an outstanding and highly motivated researcher or PhD student for a 3 years research project in the field of gait and exercise biomechanics. This position is partly paid (30hours/week) for 3 years (1955,80€ gross per month) and starts with February 2015.
The project “Children`s KNEEs Study” aims at analysing altered biomechanical movement strategies in obese children during walking and stair climbing. Based on this information a specific strength and neuromuscular exercises training program will be developed for the special needs of this target audience. Within a randomized controlled trail (RCT) effects of the training program will be evaluated from a therapeutic and biomechanical viewpoint.
