Research at the Chair of Human Movement Science is devoted to the understanding of human sensorimotor control and associated neural mechanism. Major topics are
Analysis of motor behavior from elementary abilities to complex skills,
Consequences of disturbances of the central nervous systems and neurorehabilitation,
Development over the lifespan and interventions,
Sports performance and optimization.
We employ methods to capture and analyze human movements and forces as well as neuroimaging and brain stimulation methods and new technologies in rehabilitation.
From March 19 to 21, 2025, the Chair of Human Movement Science, together with the Professorship of Neuromuscular Diagnostics, hosted the conference entitled "Dimensions of Motor Control - Sport, Health, Development, Robotics."

When we use familiar tools in everyday life (e.g. keys, hammers or knives), we mainly recall semantic knowledge: we know how, for what and in what context a tool is used. But what happens when we are faced with a new type of tool and cannot rely on existing semantic knowledge?

The aim of this study was to investigate to which extent traces of sensorimotor capacity can be found in everyday life behavior of persons with neurological diseases. Therefore, the sensorimotor capacity, e.g. grip strength, of persons with multiple sclerosis, persons with stroke, and control…
