运动科学哲学博士-生物力学

该课程提供了使用运动捕捉，测力平台，虚拟现实和肌电图等设备获取和分析人体运动的高级知识。这些工具将用于研究健康，衰老和病理人群（包括肢体截肢，外周动脉疾病和中风）的运动方式。教育学生如何使用非线性动力学分析人体运动。将开设数学，工程学，计算机科学，统计学和心理学等课程。运动科学博士学位是生物力学系与健康与运动学学院的一项联合计划。运动科学博士课程以人体运动的生理学，生物化学，生物物理学，运动控制与发展以及生物心理社会学为基础，旨在通过跨学科的临床和转化研究，采用基于证据的方法来改善运动功能和身体活动水平。
This track provides advanced knowledge in acquisition and analysis of human movement using equipment such as motion capture (including laboratory and field-based systems), force platforms, virtual reality, 3D printing, and electromyography. Such tools are used to investigate movement patterns in healthy, aging, and pathological populations. Findings may be applied to rehabilitation or treatment protocols intended to improve performance. These tools are also used to investigate the movement of animals to better inform robotic and device designs. Courses will be taken in biomechanics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, statistics and motor control.<br>Based on the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, motor control and development, and psychology of human movement, the program is aimed at developing researchers who are working to improve movement function and physical activity using evidence-based approaches through interdisciplinary clinical and translational research.<br>A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for disease prevention, health enhancement, physical rehabilitation, and exercise motivation.<br>Career options include:<br>Academician, Scientist for federal agencies such as NASA or National Institutes of Health<br>Scientist for industries such as sport equipment manufacturing, nutrition, ergonomics, or research equipment<br>Laboratory director for hospitals or universities
