The lab explores prosthetic legs and rehabilitation through biomechanics.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying prosthetic legs and walking through mechanics
The Hobara Lab (English name: Applied Biomechanics Laboratory) is a lab that works on biomechanics.
Associate Professor Hiroaki Hobara, who leads the lab, lists biomechanics, prosthetic legs, rehabilitation, and para sports as research keywords.
The research background includes the biomechanical characteristics of walking in people with lower-limb amputation, and motion analysis of para-athletes wearing sports prostheses.
The lab belongs to the Department of Functional Design Engineering, Faculty of Advanced Engineering.
