Aim of the course is to present methods and tools for approaching the study of sport equipments and rehabilitation devices by means of theoretical lectures, applied workshops and practical experiences during virtual or physical Laboratory sessions.
Using the basic knowledge of applied mechanics, mechanics of materials, instrumentation and measurement courses, students from different engineering background should enhance their essential knowledge of functional anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system and adopt an integrated approach to the study of functionality, comfort and safety properties of sport equipment or rehabilitation devices. Sports equipment & garment/protections, as well as orthoses/prosthese/assitive and wearable technolgies shall be studied for the development of innovative solutions or for their assessment by the introduction of comparative tests.
The course proposes the development of two OPTIONAL group activity: (i) a Creative Design Workshop, carried within a week time by groups of 3 students, focused on the identification/development/presentation of an innovative product concept; (ii) an COURSE GROUP PROJECT oriented to the study of a sport equipment, an assistive product or a biomedical device/sensor/software, adopting either an experimental, a numerical or a product innovation concept approach during about a month timespan.
IMPORTANT:
COURSE ENROLLMENT
Students from Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering and ICT will be Auto Enrolled if the enter the course.
In any case, the password to Enrol the course is
21_SERD_21 for all other courses.
