theoretical approach and control principles of the human control of
his/her motions

explain the most appropriate
way to describe three-dimensional motions of human beings
b)
identify on a detailed level
the relevant dynamic characteristics of human sensor systems (auditory,
tactile, visual, vestibulary systems), muscles and the central nervous
system
c)
explain the components of
the neuromuscular control system from a control engineering perspective
3.
make a Problem Analysis of a
given assignment in the field of a human motion control
a)
select appropriate
measurement techniques for motion recording
b)
derive motions equations of
a part of the human body, build a simulation model and answer
biomechanical questions using simulations

apply musculoskeletal models
to analyse the properties of muscles needed for specified tasks
d)
identify the contribution of
feedforward and feedback mechanisms in the Central Nervous System for
the generation of motions
