What my students are saying

Excellent approach by Dr. Gustavo to teach and make us understand the complex biomechanics in a much simpler way!

— Dr. Nag Anand

The course was perfect, the explanations by Dr. Gustavo where very clear, the schemes and simulation videos where excellent.

— Dr. Isaak Atmatsidis

I am very much impressed with the course and Dr. Gameiro. The lectures are clear, thorough, and well-produced.
