Biomechanics Laboratory
The biomechanics laboratory is a facility that enables analysis of human movement through the measurement of joint angles, muscle activity, and the external and internal forces acting on the body. The laboratory is used to explore the mechanisms of pathology that lead to movement dysfunction and aids in the development and assesses the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation. The high specification motion capture system enables a vast array of movement to be analysed from walking, through to the upper limb and the small intricate movements of the hand and fingers.

Vicom MX T-series Motion Capture System
The laboratory contains a high specification Vicon MX T-series motion capture system consisting of twelve cameras. Six cameras are 16 megapixel resolution and the remaining six are 4 megapixel resolution. This enables a capture volume of approximately 8m length x 3m width x 3m height whilst using markers from 14mm to as little as 3mm in diameter. Synchronised with the motion capture system are two Kistler piezoelectric force platforms, one of which is portable enabling it to be repositioned for a multitude of tasks including step-up and step-down movements. In addition there is also a 16 channel Aurion `Zerowire¿ wireless EMG system to enable the electrical activity of muscles as they contract to be recorded, which is also synchronised with the motion capture system. Other equipment available include; ultrasound imaging, in-shoe pressure distribution, and joint torque measurement systems.

Vicon V460 System + 6 Cameras obsolete at YE1617
Our Vicon system is one the highest specification systems in the country for health research. This enables us to capture the three-dimensional movement of walking, to the small intricate movements of the hand and fingers. Synchronised with our force platforms and EMG systems the system enables us to generate a complete biomechanical analysis of a patient¿s movement strategies. We also have a second Vicon system which can be setup in other laboratories, or practical rooms, for capturing smaller movement tasks.
