NAME Laborategi biomekanikoa, fisiologikoa eta funtzionala

DESCRIPTION

Pertsona osasuntsuetan, goi mailako kirolarietan eta patologia sentsorimotor eta/edo muskuloskeletikoedun pertsonetan azterketa biomekanikoa, fisiologikoa eta funtzionala integratzeko laborategia. Laborategiaren dimentsio zabalak eta ekipamenduak azterketa horiek bakarka eta aldi berean burutzea ahalbidetzen dute. Prototipoen eta birgaitze eta/edo asistentzia mediko produktuen balioztatzea gauzatzeko aukera eskaintzen du, hala nola exoeskeletoak, protesiak, kirol errendimendura zuzendutako plantilak... edo adierazitako populazioetan interbentzio ezberdinen efektuak ebaluatzea.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION

Electromedical devices

Laboratory equipment

Orthopedic and rehabilitation Technology

MOST OUTSTANDING EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS

  • 3D Motion capture system

    3D 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)

    Echography machine (GE Healthcare). This device allows to observe musculoskeletal architecture in real time.

  • Isokinetic evaluation device (Humac Norm)

    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

    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

    Vicon-Nexus (Vicon) software pack for motion capture data processing, analysis and modelling

SERVICES OFFERED BY THE ASSET

Biomechanical study

Medical or rehabilitation device, as well as aid tool evaluation using kinematic, kinetic, muscle activity and centre of mass displacement data analysis

Ergometry/metabolic study

Metabolic (energy consumption) and cardiorespiratory physiological response when performing a motor task while using medical equipment or an orthosis that helps to move

Musculoskeletal function evaluation study

Image evaluation of the musculature using echography technique and movement force, power, moments etc. generated by muscles using an isokinetic measurement device.This allows to know the proprioceptive, isokinetic, isometric and concentric/eccentric capacity of the musculature before, during and after rehabilitation.

Robotic technology evaluation

Robotic technology development and validation (exoskeletons and orthoses) destined to rehabilitation and assistance purposes. The usability and user's acceptance level is also tested.
