Biomechanics
(objectives)
In this course, the main physical, kinematic and dynamic models of the human body will be analysed using the fundamental principles of mechanics applied to machines with particular attention to the mechanics of rigid and deformable bodies. The aim of the course is to enable students to understand and interpret the mechanics of gestures in the human body, as well as the main biomechanical models and their applications in the fields of sport, medicine and rehabilitation. By the end of the course, students will be able to grasp the operating and design principles of sports equipment, such as muscle-building and aerobic machines, etc., as well as medical and rehabilitation devices, such as prostheses, orthopaedic devices, robots for mini-invasive surgery, micro-robots and so on.

Fluid machinery for clinical engineering
(objectives)
The course aims to provide fundamental thermodynamic and fluid dynamic methods to be applied to fluid machinery description and analysis. The most relevant machinery applications in clinical contexts will be shown (e.g., circulation, ventilation, dialysis) and, in the end, students will be able to select and analyse properly machines for biomedical applications taking into consideration the most relevant technical constraints and boundary conditions.

Fundamentals of electrical measurements
(objectives)
Fundamentals of electrical measurements Aim of this course is to learn the basic concepts of measurement and uncertainty, also within a statistical approach, and to critically apply those concepts to the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, with particular emphasis on electrical and electronic quantities.
Measurements for clinical engineering The overall aim of the course of Measurements for Clinical Engineering is providing the students with basic knowledge and skills about the measurement systems in dependance of the needs of the experiment and/or the user of the instrumentation within Clinical Engineering measurements and applications of mechanical quantities. In particular the main characteristics of specific components of each measuring system will be explained in dependance on principal measuring characteristics and their working principles.
