Biomechanics Laboratory
The Biomechanics Laboratory, located in Hanner 1302, provides research and educational opportunities for faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students interested in studying the biomechanics of human movement. The laboratory includes instrumentation for the assessment of kinematics, kinetics, electromyography, postural stability, and muscle performance. The laboratory is equipped with the following: 9 sensor extended range electromagnetic tracking system, 3 sensor Mini-Bird electromagnetic tracking system, 2 non-conducting AMTI forceplates mounted directly to the concrete subfloor, 16 channel Delsys electromyographical system, NeuroCom Balance system, Biodex System III dynamometer, Peak Motus video capture system, and the Biodex Stability System. The laboratory also contains 2 dedicated data collection computers and an additional 3 networked computers for data reduction and analysis. A conference room, lavatory and separate office space are also available.
