Clinical Biomechanics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab measures and analyzes human movement to develop effective physical therapy.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring human movement to advance physical therapy.
The Clinical Biomechanics Lab measures and analyzes the movements of young adults, older adults, patients, and athletes using motion capture systems, force plates, electromyography, ultrasound diagnostic equipment, and more.
By analyzing the mechanical properties of the forces acting on muscles and joints, as well as the relationship between muscle properties or motor function and movement ability, the lab aims to develop effective treatments and preventive methods.
The lab hopes to train physical therapists who have both the clinical ability to treat patients and the research ability to examine the effects of that treatment.
Key terms
- Biomechanics
- The study of body movement and the forces acting on the body, using the principles of mechanics
- Force plate
- A device that measures the force exerted by the floor on the body when standing or walking
- Knee osteoarthritis
- A disease in which the cartilage in the knee wears down, causing pain and difficulty moving
- Elastography
- A method that images and measures tissue stiffness using ultrasound or other means
ResearchResearch themes
With the aim of establishing an academic framework for physical therapy and returning its results to clinical practice, the lab conducts research together with graduate students.
*Illustrative imagePhysical Therapy for Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis
The lab develops effective physical therapy interventions for patients with hip osteoarthritis and knee osteoarthritis. It also conducts long-term studies that follow the relationship between patients' movement characteristics and the progression of osteoarthritis.
*Illustrative imageMuscle Function Assessment and Training
The lab develops assessment measures and training methods for muscle function. It also works on electromyographic analysis of selective muscle strengthening exercises and on studies of the effects of stretching.
*Illustrative imageMuscles and Joints Seen with Ultrasound
The lab examines muscle stiffness using ultrasound elastography. It also studies the shape of muscles and joints through analysis of ultrasound images.
*Illustrative imageMotor Function in Older Adults
The lab analyzes how motor function and muscle properties change with age, and develops assessment methods and training methods for the motor function of older adults. It is also developing a system that uses deep learning to assess posture and movement.
