Biomechanical, physiological and functional laboratory
DESCRIPTION
The lab is prepared to study the biomechanics, physical and functional performance of healthy subjects, high performance athletes, and subjects with musculoskeletal and/or sensorimotor pathologies. The wide space and specific equipment of this lab allows us to perform these studies individually or simultaneously. It can also be used to validate rehabilitation and/or aid tools such as exoskeletons, orthoses, sport performance shoe soles... or to evaluate the effect of different interventions on the target population.
MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
3D Motion capture system3D Motion capture system: 12 infrared cameras (Vicon Bonita 10 y Vero 2.2), 2 video cameras (Vicon Vue), two force platforms (Bertec) and a 16 channel electromyiographic recorder (Myon 320)
Echography machine (GE Healthcare). This device allows to observe musculoskeletal architecture in real time.
Isokinetic evaluation device (Humac Norm). The system allows to measure the force, power, torque and proprioception of muscles involved in different joints and movement planes
Respiratory gas analyser (Ergostik) and treadmill. The system allows to gather data about the oxygen that is consumed and the carbon dioxide that is produced while performing a motor task.
Vicon-Nexus (Vicon) software pack for motion capture data processing, analysis and modelling
