The motion capture laboratory in the Department of Physical Therapy is a 4333-square foot space located in the main teaching and research facility on the Rinker Health Science Campus. Equipment in the lab includes:
-
10 camera Motion Analysis three-dimensional motion capture system to quantify dynamic movement
-
16 channel Noraxon wireless EMG system to quantify muscle activity
-
2 embedded Bertec forceplates to quantify ground reaction forces, center of pressure, and to calculate joint moments
-
Biodex isokinetic dynamometer to measure force/torque
-
NeuroCom Balance Master to assess and treat postural control and balance
-
Alter G zero gravity treadmill
Dr. Smith partners with the Facility for Imaging and Brain Research (FIBRE) at the University of California, Irvine, to conduct neuroimaging in a state of the art 3T Siemens Prisma scanner.
