Handbook of Human Motion

With a strong interest in bridging Engineering and Medicine, and following the completion of two degrees in Precision Mechanics and Electronics from the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg (and a third in General Engineering), Bertram Mueller attended the Bioengineering Unit at the University of Strathclyde in 1995 in order to acquire more knowledge about Life Sciences.In 2000, he moved to Barcelona, where he managed a clinical biomechanics laboratory until 2012. He now works as a consultant and clinical scientist in applied biomechanics, covering both clinical and sports as well as legal aspects of the field, including a strong focus on functional capacity evaluation. As an Associate Professor, he is currently teaching Physics, Biomechanics and Clinical Motion Analysis at the University of Girona, the University of Barcelona, the Olympic Sports Centre in St. Cugat and the National Institute of Physical Education. Besides being a reviewer for several journals, he is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Forensic Biomechanics. With a PhD degree in physics, Sebastian I. Wolf spent several years in fundamental research in physics before he moved to the field of human motion analysis in 2001. For ten years he was Technical Director of the Gait Analysis Laboratory of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Heidelberg University. Since 2010 he is Director of the Division Human Movement Analysis and responsible both for the clinical gait analysis service as well as the clinical research in this field. In 2015 he became Associate Professor for Orthopedic Biomechanics in the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University. In the same year he was elected for president of the European Society for Movement Analysis in Adults and Children (ESMAC). Sebastian I. Wolf has published more than 80 peer reviewed articles related to clinical movement analysis and is reviewer for numerous journals in this field with continuing scientific interest in advancing knowledge on neurologic and orthopedic gait disorders and mobility related medical healthcare.
