MS Biomechanics, Motor Control and Motor Development

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

Purdue University West Lafayette

Program Overview

Biomechanics is the study of movement from a mechanical perspective — including cellular mechanics, muscle behavior, locomotion, reaching and prehension. Motor control investigates the natural laws that describe how the central nervous system interacts with the body and environment to produce coordinated, purposeful movement. Finally, motor development studies the emergence of motor ability in infants and how it co-evolves alongside perceptual abilities.

Combined, these three areas allow researchers in Purdue University’s biomechanics, motor control and motor development graduate program to explore motor behavior and innovative solutions to improve quality of life through both experimental and modeling techniques.
