Welcome to the Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics

The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics focuses on the study of kinematics and kinetics in healthy, reconstructed and replaced joints. By examining the quality of movement, we also aim to extract key information on an individual’s functional status and thereby lay the foundations for understanding and monitoring the degenerative changes that occur with musculoskeletal and neuromotor pathologies, but also the adaptation that results from ageing or rehabilitation. The targeted application of key experimental and computational techniques thereby enables encompassing approaches to support clinical decision-making in the fields of gerontology, trauma, orthopaedics and neurology, but also opens perspectives on the objective assessment of both medical technologies and therapies alike.
