1 FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCES SCHOOL OF HUMAN KINETICS APA 6903 Selected Topics: Methods and Instrumentation for Biomechanics Fall 2012 Professor: Mario Lamontagne, PhD Office: MNT 341 or LEES E020B Office hours: Tuesday: 13:00 to 14:00 Tel: 4258 or Lectures and Laboratory Tuesday LEC 8:30 TO 11:30 LEES Room: E050 or E020 Course Objectives: 1. To introduce the major research tools and techniques used in Biomechanics. 2. To understand the fundamental concepts and principles applied to biomechanics 3. To devise and evaluate methods for measuring the validity and reliability of research instruments or methods. 4. To collect 3D kinematics, kinetics and muscle activity of human motion 5. To analyse 3D kinematic and kinetics data using dedicated software 6. To develop the ability to critically examine kinesiological research literature with regards to instrumentation and methodology. 7. To develop the skills needed to write a short communication, as it would be submitted in Journal of biomechanics. Student Evaluation Topics Dates Marks Research Project: December 5, The research project must include data collection of a human movement. In the methodology, the validation and reliability of the instruments must be assessed and described (15%). The research project must be presented as a short communication as it would be submitted to Journal of Biomechanics (10%) Laboratory LogBook November 27, The laboratory logbook consists of recording all your works performed in the laboratory. The logbook must be a binded book and no page can be ripped off or added. Hand-on Laboratory Skills Setup the equipment for 3D biomechanical motion analysis. 3D biomechanical motion data acquisition. EMG preparation and data collection. Isokinetic measurement using the Biodex Data processing with Nexus (Vicon) for a walking trial November 27, Oral Presentations (2) On fundamental concepts or principles applied to biomechanics (e.g.: Direct Linear Transformation method, Inverse kinematics and kinetics, Joint Coordinate System, Muscle modeling, Signal Processing, and Electromyography Kinesiology) Presentations must done between October 2nd and November 13, Final Exam (Take Home) Dec 7 to 11, 2012) December 11, TOTAL
