NAME Tecnalia Biomechanical Laboratory
Biomechanical laboratory aimed at the development of medical tools for patients with motor impairments, neuromuscular dysfunctions, or prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. It enables the testing of products and prototypes for companies in this sector, customizing (clinical) rehabilitation treatments, and validating exoskeleton technologies. The installation is specially designed to simultaneously measure the position of different parts of the body, as well as external forces, muscle activations and even brain activity.
