Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries and joint diseases by measuring how the body moves.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring movement to prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
The Musculoskeletal Disorders Lab studies the prevention and rehabilitation of orthopedic diseases and injuries (musculoskeletal disorders).
Its subjects include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries of the knee, ankle ligament injuries, throwing injuries, knee osteoarthritis, and chronic low back pain.
Using biomechanics methods that measure body movement with 3D motion analysis systems, force plates, and electromyographs, the lab aims to apply its findings in clinical practice.
Many visiting researchers and working-professional graduate students affiliated with medical institutions such as Hokkaido University Hospital are enrolled, and they share clinical knowledge and experience through joint research.
