The "Human and Life Sciences" Department (SHV) has as its main scientific challenge to promote the maintenance and improvement of mobility and in this context relies on 3 lines of research:

  1. TechInno axis: Design and validation of innovative biomechanical devices
    2. .
  2. Detectôt axis: Determination of markers of early mobility degradation and understanding of underlying mechanisms
  3. Lab2practice axis: Transferring knowledge and skills from scientific approaches to clinical or field applications

The objectives scientific of the SHV Department thus aim to determine the psycho-neuro-biomechanical parameters enabling the earliest possible detection of individuals at risk of mobility loss. In order to carry out this psycho-neuro-biomechanical characterization, it is necessary to develop and validate certain tools and/or methodologies (TechInno Axis). These can be reinvested in the implementation of detection protocols (Detectôt Axis) and then functional rehabilitation aimed at promoting patient mobility (Lab2practice Axis).

.

These objectives are expressed not only in terms of preserving/preventing mobility, but also in terms of remediation or supplementary approaches aimed at recovering it. This concerns populations that are currently asymptomatic but at risk of mobility deterioration, as well as populations encountering real obstacles to their mobility for various causes : amputation, stroke, physiological or pathological ageing... Attention is also focused on the interactions between these intrinsic factors and incapacitating or capacitating influences of extrinsic factors, essentially environmental. The SHV Department's projects can thus have socio-economic impacts, as they aim to participate in increasing healthy life span.
