More about Professor Klug

Her initial research focussed on understanding muscular control mechanisms in the human body and movement physiology. This formed the basis for her present research activities which focus on kinematic and kinetic analyses and modelling of physiological and pathological movements based on biomechanics and on neuromuscular performance. Her particular research interests are focused on the development of methods improving diagnosis, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
