EXPH 6600 - Advanced Biomechanics


Encompasses information on the specifics of equipment, data collection, and signal processing using the measurement tools of biomechanics. Students experience collecting EMG data, force related data, and 3-dimensional video data. After data collection, students utilize the appropriate data processing/signal processing techniques, synthesize different collection techniques, and relate the information to the movement chosen to analyze.

Requisites: EXPH 5140 and (5145 or 5150)
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 1.0 lecture, 4.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,PR,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Demonstrate a video filming site, selecting camera positioning to collect two planes of motion data.
  • Demonstrate methods for selecting muscle sites, prepare area, set up the computer and hardware for collecting data.
  • Demonstrate set up of force plate and charge amplifier in conjunction with computer.
  • Demonstrate various data smoothing techniques to aid in analyzing video, EMG and force data sets.
  • Synthesize data for an analysis of selected movement activity, relating information to biomechanical principles.
