ADVANCED BIOMECHANICS FOR EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH OF THE MUSCULAR-SKELETAL SYSTEM

Background

Biomechanical analysis is based on registering, mathematical modeling and simulation of biomechanical variables, in such a way that it covers, increasingly, applications in clinical and sports areas. According to this, the advance in computational tools and the understanding of mathematical models allows the implementation of more realistic models of human movement.

Main Goal

Acquire knowledge and skills in Biomechanics, in order to be able to study new models applied to human movement mechanics.

Participants Profile

Professors, undergraduate and graduate students, engineering and health sciences professionals interested in deepening in the area of Biomechanics and the use of musculoskeletal models.
