ÃÛÌÒTV the Biomechanics Laboratory
We are a purpose-built, fully equipped laboratory dedicated to studying the biomechanical and physiological mechanisms of daily and physical activities in both controlled and field environments.
We address challenges in human movement, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.
The laboratory employs a range of state-of-the-art equipment and utilises its globally recognised expertise in motion analysis, force analysis, electromyography and rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to achieve its aims.
Notable achievements include:
- Development of a movement screening tools to assess movement control of the hip and lower limb.
- Development and validation of protocols for kinematic analysis during activities of daily living, particularly of the upper and shoulder.
- Assessment of the biomechanical changes during exercise interventions.
- Assessment of the changes in the mechanical and size of muscles whilst in microgravity.
These activities highlighting our impact on research and innovation.
