Biomechanics, Training and Sports Technology

Development and application of diagnostic methods for the identification of individuals and collectives with prognosis regarding high risk of special acute and chronic stress damage
Performance diagnostics and determination of performance limits in the area of high-performance sports
Development and evaluation of concepts for the improvement of motor skills during old age and in cases of degenerative restrictions
Individualized optimization of training impact through the improvement of energetic, coordinative interplay between sport and machine training (fitness and rehabilitation equipment)
Evaluation of general and individual impact of protective and rehabilitative Equipment
Transfer research and development consulting in the area of orthopedic remedies and aids (such as bandages, tapes, orthoses, shoes, splints and protectors)
Technology consulting during the development of innovative athletic and training Equipment
Methods: The broad spectrum of research and services is based on integrative linkage of complex biomechanical examination methods in our laboratory. We use the most up-to-date technologies possible in order to ensure differentiated, multiple perspective approaches to solutions for various challenges:
- 3D video, high frequency motion Analysis
- 3D ultrasound-based, real-time motion Analysis
- Dynamometry
- Electromyography
- Posturometry
- Modeling and Simulation

Biological and physical basis for movement and training
- Research on the causes and manifestation of human motion considering the functional organ systems involved
- Description and explanation of training-conditional biopositive and bionegative adaptation processes in organ Systems
- General and individual optimization and prognosis of training impact

Functionality tests of non-elastic adhesive dressings (tape)
Materials testing (constant load tests)
