NSF Young Investigator - Multisegmental Movement, Coordination and control.

Nyi奖将资助多节段运动、协调和控制的基本机制的研究。通过使用调查员开发的三维16自由度模型，脑性瘫痪儿童步态研究，将研究控制平衡的方法和预测运动模式的方法。还在研究通过使用MRI自动测量肌肉骨骼参数的方法以及使用最优控制技术来协调计算机模拟的模型。Nyi奖还将帮助研究人员开发一门关于微型计算机在生物工程中的应用的新课程，并编写一本关于运动生物力学的新教科书。

This NYI award will fund research on the basic mechanisms of multisegmental movement, coordination and control. With the use of a 3-dimensional, 16 degree of freedom model that the investigator developed, studies of the gait of cerebral palsied children, methods to control balance and methods to predict movement patterns will be investigated. Also being investigated are methods of automating the measurement of musculoskeletal parameters through the use of MRI and the use of optimal control techniques to coordinate the computer-simulated models. The NYI Award also will help the investigator develop a new course on Microcomputer Applications in Bioengineering and author a new textbook on movement biomechanics.
