Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge of the basics of mechanical engineering applied to systems
organic. The course includes lectures, exercises, possible educational visits
Prerequisites
no
Teaching Methods
Students are assigned a theme to be developed mainly during the hours of
exercise under the guidance of the teacher. This activity can be of a biliographic, experimental or type
numeric. At the end of the work the students must prepare a written report

Muscle contraction
Movement analysis: modeling, systems of acquisitions of kinematic quantities e
dynamics; applications for the quantitative functional evaluation of motor disorders; applications
in motor rehabilitation, evaluation of the actions acting in the muscles, joints, segments
bone. Biomechanics of the pass, and of some articulations.
