As part of its ongoing series of scientific activities aimed at enhancing students' practical skills, Future University's Biomedical Engineering Department organized a specialized workshop, directly supervised by Engineer Mohammed Abdul Karim Razouki, on the mechanisms of digital motion analysis and the extraction of complex biomechanical data. About the Workshop: The workshop aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical curricula and practical application through a detailed explanation of the Kinovea software, a sophisticated tool for analyzing motion performance. The session focused on how to convert human body movements into digital data and graphs that can be processed and interpreted for diagnosing medical conditions or evaluating athletic and engineering performance. Methodology: The workshop employed an interactive presentation style, covering: • Analysis of Motion Trajectories: Demonstrating how to track movement points and determine the joint angles of the human body. • Extraction of Biomechanical Measurements: Explaining the software's role in accurately measuring the speed, acceleration, and displacement of human limbs. • Medical and Engineering Applications: Discussing the importance of this data in the design of prosthetics and the development of medical rehabilitation devices. The lecture hall witnessed significant student engagement, as these lectures helped simplify complex engineering concepts and connect them to practical realities, thus enhancing graduates' competence in the medical and engineering job market. This activity aligns with the department's vision of providing a comprehensive learning environment. Objectives of the Scientific Activity: This scientific activity contributes to achieving several key objectives, including: • Objective Three (Good Health and Well-being): Through the use of motion analysis techniques to develop precise therapeutic and rehabilitative programs, leading to improved healthcare for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. • Objective Four (Quality Education): By empowering students with digital analysis tools and modern software, ensuring they acquire technical skills in line with global technological advancements in biomedical engineering.
