The Neuromechanics Laboratory performs interdisciplinary research analyzing neuromuscular biomechanics across sports, exercise, and clinical applications. Research in the Neuromechanics lab and coursework (EXSC 417 & 727) address basic and applied questions using kinetics, kinematics, electromyography, dynamometry, ultrasonography, and modeling and simulation.
Researchers and students in the Neuromechanics Laboratory often collaborate with faculty in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, and other biomechanists across the United States.
The Neuromechanics Lab is home to the following equipment for research:
12-camera three-dimensional motion capture system (Vicon Vantage)
Five force platforms (Bertec)
A wireless electromyography system (Delsys Trigno)
Portable ultrasound (GE Logiq e)
Two dynamometers (HUMAC NORM & hand held)
Office space/computers for graduate students
