BioMotion Center

The research of Thorsten Stein's Lab “BioMotion Center” is driven by the interest in human movement, which is an important part of life, as it ensures physical mobility and thus interaction with the environment. Against this background, the aim of our research is to understand the functioning of human movement, i.e. the interplay between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system, that enables coordinated movement behavior. Of particular interest to us is, how training protocols need to be structured and modern technologies (e.g. running shoes, orthoses or exoskeletons) need to be designed to improve this interplay and thus motor performance in everyday life and sport as well as in prevention and rehabilitation.
