SITizens Learning Credits

Overview

The delivery of this course may be subject to changes stipulated by the government’s directive on safe distancing measures.

Understanding of human motor control and learning requires a solid foundation of observation of human movement. In addition to clinical measures used in day-to-day clinical practice, high resolution, objective, and precise measures can add great values in screening for clinical practice. An in-depth understanding of human movement provides tremendous value in evaluating the functional performance of limbs under normal and abnormal conditions, as well as proper diagnosis and treatment outcome of high-stake intervention and design of prosthetic devices to restore function.

Human movement can be described in terms of kinematics and kinetics. Kinematic analysis measures the form of human movement, e.g. location, speed, or acceleration of body segments. Kinetic analysis measures the force that impacts on the human body. Electromyography (EMG) analysis complements kinematic and kinetic analyses by detecting muscle activities that drive human movement.

This two-day workshop will focus on the application of motor control and learning through state-of-the-art equipment to perform kinematic, kinetic, and EMG analysis. Participants will have the opportunity to propose and conduct an experimental design of their own interest to address questions inspired by clinical practice.
