The experience of the MdM group in the dynamic analysis of mechanical systems finds a natural continuation in the study of biomechanics. Indeed, the principles of mechanics are applied in a variety of bioengineering fields, such as the development of endoprostheses and exoprostheses, motion analysis, ergonomic studies to optimize human-machine interfaces, and the development of rehabilitation devices and advanced sports equipment.
The group’s research activity focuses specifically on the dynamic simulation of biomechanical models using OpenSim multi-body software, with which kinematic and dynamic analyses can be performed from experimental motion analysis data.
In the field of sports biomechanics, the MdM group is involved in the modeling of motion dynamics and the development of test equipment for the experimental evaluation of sports movements.
