Movements such as walking are well studied and differences in patterns influenced by diseases or muscular imbalances can be evaluated and used for diagnosis. However, evaluation of fine motor actions such as hand movement are challenging to date. Within the CRC<br \/>\nEmpkinS, the Department of Internal Medicine 3 \u2013 Rheumatology and Immunology and the Institute of Applied Dynamics (LTD) conducted a large research study. A group of 150 patients and 75 healthy subjects were already measured for characterizing hand movements. These evaluations will help to define hand biomarkers for monitoring disease activity in rheumatic patients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The project involves<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biomechanical analysis of hand movements based on the existing data set<\/li>\n<li>Statistical analysis and reporting of relevant parameters<\/li>\n<li>Data collection of hand movements via motion capturing and EMG<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biomedical engineering, engineering with focus on biomechanics, sport science or related studies<\/li>\n<li>C1 in German (for communication with patients) and B2 in English<\/li>\n<li>Programming experience in Matlab, Python or similar<\/li>\n<li>Courses in biomechanics and statistics (desirable), interest in working with patients<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What we offer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Interdisciplinary environment in an innovative Collaborative Research Centre EmpkinS<\/li>\n<li>Possibility to continue as a PhD student<\/li>\n<li>Additonal employment as student assistant in the working group Musculoskeletal Function and Mechanobiology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Start date:<\/strong> November 2024<\/p>\n<p>If interested, please E-mail to: Birte Coppers, birte&#46;&#99;&#111;&#112;&#112;&#101;&#114;&#115;&#x40;&#x75;&#x6b;&#x2d;&#x65;&#x72;&#x6c;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x67;&#x65;&#x6e;&#46;de<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Internal Medicine 3 &#8211; Rheumatology and Immunology, Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg &amp; Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen together with the Institute of Applied Dynamics (LTD) Friedrich-Alexander-Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg, are offering a Master Thesis &#8211; Digital biomarkers in inflammatory arthritis \u2013 biomechanical and experimental analysis of hand motions Marker-based motion capturing is the current gold standard for assessing human &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/en\/master-thesis-digital-biomarkers-in-inflammatory-arthritis-biomechanical-and-experimental-analysis-of-hand-motions\/\">Weiterlesen <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[138,30,97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-job-annoncen-en","category-job-posting","category-job-posting-en","wp-image-borders"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5847"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5849,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5847\/revisions\/5849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bio-mechanik.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
