KIN382: Biomechanics Lab Techniques

The goal of the lab techniques class is to formulate empirical research hypotheses and test them through the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data. This will be accomplished through the use of a 10-camera Vicon Motion Capture system, EMG, and force platforms to analyze human movement. Students will develop basic programming skills in Matlab and assess the validity and reliability of their data. A semester project allows students to work in groups to incorporate several different collected data in the testing of specific hypotheses of their choice.
