Biomechatronics

Biomechatronics is a contraction of biomechanics and mechatronics. In this course the central focus is on function and coordination of the human motion apparatus, and on the design of assistive devices for the support of the function of the motion apparatus. Examples are assistive devices like an orthosis, a prosthesis or Functional Electrical Stimulation of muscles. The goal is to provide some function to patients with functional deficiencies.
