Human Motion Control Laboratory

Research Facilities

 

Biomechanical Engineering   [Department of Mechanical Engineering    School of Engineering    University of Kansas   
KU Biomechanics Laboratory:
Learned Hall, Room 2101
Shared research space, primarily dedicated to experimental studies and data analysis. Equipment in the Human Motion Control Laboratory includes 8-channel electromyography (Delsys), force plate (Bertec), electromagentic motion tracking (Ascension), shaker table (Ling), and electrogonoimeters (Biometrics). In addition, the Experimental Joint Biomechanics Lab and the Biomaterials lab share the space. Equipment in these areas includes a mechanical testing system (MTS) and the Kansas Knee Simulator.

   

 

Other Associated Laboratories:

Computational Bone Biomechanics Laboratory:
Learned Hall, Room 3102
http://www.engr.ku.edu/me/biomech/tissue/
Approximately 400 sq ft dedicated to computer space for computational modeling bone and analysis of experimental data. Computers include two high-speed, high-memory NT computers, and two SGI workstations with R12000 processors. Campus facilities also provide access to an SGI Origin 2000 parallel supercomputer.

Center on Aging, Human Performance Laboratory:
KUMC
, Landon Center on Aging
http://www2.kumc.edu/coa/Research/human_performance_lab.htm
The Human Performance Lab occupies over 2,500 square feet on the first floor of the Landon Building. It features equipment capable of collecting kinematic, kinetic, electromyographic, strength and cardiovascular fitness data. In addition to the main lab, two additional assessment rooms are equipped for the study of activities of daily living (ADL) and a variety of other clinical measures.

Hoglund Brain Imaging Center:
KUMC, Hoglund Brain Imaging Center
