This thesis aims to explore the role of biomechanical engineering in two distinct complementary fields: motion analysis and the development of medical devices for rehabilitative and microbiological applications. The research, and consequently, the thesis, is divided into two main parts: the first part delves into the biomechanical analysis of motion, examining the intricacies of vastly different movements such as anticipatory patterns (APA) and trunk flexion-extension. Despite their significant differences, these movements offer intriguing avenues for human movement research. The second part focuses on medical device design and validation process, with a specific emphasis on the Radian Project, in collaboration with Copan WASP. These analyses were also conducted employing motion analysis sensors, representing a valuable contribution to advancements in human health care and well-being. In conclusion, this thesis explores various facets within the medical realm, united by a common goal: technological progress in support of human well-being and healthcare
La tesi si pone come obiettivo l’esplorazione del ruolo dell'ingegneria biomeccanica in due ambiti distinti ma complementari: l'analisi del movimento e lo sviluppo di dispositivi medici per applicazioni riabilitative e microbiologiche. La ricerca, e di conseguenza la tesi, si articola in due parti principali: nella prima parte, è stata investigata l'analisi biomeccanica del movimento, esplorando la complessità di movimenti estremamente distinti come quelli anticipatori (APA) e il movimento di flesso-estensione del tronco. Questi due movimenti, pur differendo notevolmente, offrono un'interessante varietà di spunti per la ricerca. La seconda parte si incentra sul processo di progettazione e validazione di dispositivi medici, con un focus specifico sul Progetto Radian, in collaborazione con l'azienda Copan WASP. Queste analisi sono state svolte anche attraverso l'impiego di sensori per l'analisi del movimento, rappresentano un prezioso contributo all'avanzamento nella cura e nel mantenimento della salute umana. n conclusione, la presente tesi esplora varie sfaccettature legate al mondo medicale, unite da un comune obiettivo: il progresso tecnologico a vantaggio del benessere e della cura umana

Abstract
This thesis aims to explore the role of biomechanical engineering in two distinct complementary fields: motion analysis and the development of medical devices for rehabilitative and microbiological applications. The research, and consequently, the thesis, is divided into two main parts: the first part delves into the biomechanical analysis of motion, examining the intricacies of vastly different movements such as anticipatory patterns (APA) and trunk flexion-extension. Despite their significant differences, these movements offer intriguing avenues for human movement research. The second part focuses on medical device design and validation process, with a specific emphasis on the Radian Project, in collaboration with Copan WASP. These analyses were also conducted employing motion analysis sensors, representing a valuable contribution to advancements in human health care and well-being. In conclusion, this thesis explores various facets within the medical realm, united by a common goal: technological progress in support of human well-being and healthcareFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
