Structure and Motion
The primary aim of this theme is to increase understanding of the dynamics (disease, injury, recovery, adaptation, and optimization) of the neuro-musculo-skeletal system in the light of its function as a system subserving functional movement. Combinations of biomechanical and (neuro-) physiological tools are used to study the dynamics in experimental/interventional studies.
Ultimately, the research conducted in this theme should provide understanding and allow prediction of effects of interventions on the neuro-musculo-skeletal system (ergonomics, rehabilitation, sports, surgery, and aging).
