Join us to advance biomechanics research and explore cutting-edge practices, technologies, and evidence-based findings in orthopedics, sports medicine, and sports science.

The course offers a unique opportunity to delve into the cutting edge of biomechanics research within orthopedics, sports medicine, and sports science. Participants will explore fundamental biomechanical principles and their applications, while gaining practical experience with state-of-the-art techniques such as joint stability measurement, model-based image-matching, and on-field motion analysis. The course emphasizes translating research into practice, equipping attendees with valuable skills applicable to biomechanical assessments.

As a participant, you will benefit from opportunities to present your work, receive constructive feedback, and network with experts in the field,  helping you foster your own future research directions.
