MRI: Acquisition of Motion Analysis System, Force Plates, EMG System, and EXAscan 3D Scanner for Research and Education in Biomechanics

1126763嘉宾拟议的仪器将支持项目(来自5个系的7名教员)，以增进对人体关节生物力学(建模)、人体步态和运动控制以及生物力学研究性教学的理解和知识。1)将开发的原始生物力学模型将有助于关节置换设计、植入物设计、关节稳定性和新的康复练习的新概念，这些将使术后患者受益。这项研究将调查在各种运动中正常和缺乏膝关节的肌肉的激活程度以及接触和韧带的力量。2)自闭症谱系障碍运动障碍的研究将为肌肉骨骼生物力学和下肢感觉运动控制相互作用(平衡和运动的协调)提供潜在的变革性概念。3)以挑战为基础的生物力学教学将以创造性和变革性的方式解决研究和教育的整合。所要求的仪器将装备一个生物力学实验室，并将扩大所有参与者的研究范围，允许在新的和新的方向上提出新的科学问题。

1126763CaruntuThe proposed instrumentation will support projects (7 faculty from 5 departments) to advance understanding and knowledge in biomechanics of human joints (modeling), human gait and motor control, and research-based instruction in biomechanics. 1) The original biomechanics models to be developed will contribute to new concepts of joint replacement design, implant design, joint stability, and new rehabilitation exercises that will benefit post-surgery patients. This research will investigate muscle level of activation, and contact and ligament forces in normal and deficient knees during various exercises. 2) The research on movement disturbances in autism spectrum disorders will provide potentially transformative concepts on musculoskeletal biomechanics and sensorimotor control interactions of lower limb (coordination of balance and locomotion). 3) Challenge-based instruction in biomechanics will address, in a creative andtransformative way, the integration of research and education. The requested instrumentation will equip a Biomechanics Laboratory and will broaden the research scope for all participants, allowing for new scientific problems in novel and fresh directions.
