Human movement analysis (KTV/E-HMA)

NOTICE: The validity of the information on this page has expired.


Synopsis / description / annotation:

The object of the course is to familiarise the student with different methods of kinematic and kinetic analysis of human movement and their possible use in teaching practice. The student will practically test the possibilities of both the simplest and sophisticated methods of human motion analysis. In the human movement analysis exercise, students will use software that allows for effective analysis of selected parameters at critical points of the exercise. Based on the output of the data collected, teaching students will be provided with feedback to eliminate errors in the currently acquired skill.

Requirements on student:

Active participation and task presentation in seminars, final test

Content:

  1. Kinematic motion analysis.
  2. Videographic method and optoelectronic stereophotogrammetry
  3. Creation and processing of images, two- and three-dimensional recordings, problems related to image analysis, preparation of cameras used (camera setup, camera synchronization, preparation of video analysis space (space calibration, system).
  4. Detecting tracking points in the SIMI Motion and Qualisys system.
  5. Analysis of monitored variables by SIMI Motion and Qualisys.
  6. Kinematic analysis of selected acyclic motion (2D), (3D).
  7. Kinematic analysis of selected cyclic motion (2D), (3D).
  8. Dynamic motion analysis
  9. Dynamic analysis of selected sports movement.
  10. Combined methods of kinematic and dynamic analysis.
  11. Variability of human movement (methods to detect variability of movement - discrete and continuous variables, coordination)
  12. Coordination and Coordination Variability of Human Movement (Continues Relative Phase, Vector Coding)
  13. Presentation of Worked Out Tasks
