Title
Loads
Learning Outcome
Use force platforms and load cells in order to measure external loads that are applied to the human body during human motion
Title
Electromyography
Learning Outcome
Understand when and how to use electromyography in order to better understand involved muscular activity during human motion
Title
Neuromechanical Data
Learning Outcome
Demonstrate an understanding of general concepts related to collection and analysis of biomechanical data. These concepts include:
Analog to digital conversion
Selection of an appropriate sampling rate
Analysis of signal frequency
Recognition and treatment of signal noise using a digital filter
Other signal processing techniques and issues
