ST- Locomotion Biomechanics

In this course we will explore contemporary topics in locomotion biomechanics. Topics include: Inverse Dynamics Analyses with OpenSIM, Muscle Fascicle and Musculotendinous Junction Tracking with UltraSound, Statistical Parametric Mapping, and Linear Mixed-Effects Models. Other topics include working on generic valuable scientific skills such as Open Science, Effective Communication and Personal Statements.

Skeletal Muscle DataCollection

This course will provide students with knowledge of multiple types of human skeletal muscle data collection and analysis, from whole body (i.e., accelerometry, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)), whole muscle (i.e., dynamometry, magnetic resonance imaging, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, electromyography, electrical stimulation), single fiber (i.e., sinusoidal analysis, force-velocity-power relationships, immunohistochemistry) and potentially even more (i.e., blood samples, mitochondrial function).
