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.
Highlights include
Advanced motion analysis capabilities
Cutting-edge technology allows for precise analysis of movement and mechanics both within the laboratory and in the field.
Real-world applications
Research with practical outcomes in injury prevention, rehabilitation and sports performance.
Notable collaborations
Established partnerships with external organisations for applied findings relating to real-world challenges.
Impactful achievements
The development of novel methodologies that advance field knowledge, as well as a track record of successful publication in leading scientific journals and presentations at international conferences.
