Motion Analysis Lab

This 3,700 square foot space includes a ten-camera motion analysis system, two force plates and sixteen channels of wireless electromyography.  The system enables quantification of all aspects of movement from standing or walking to elite athletic maneuvers. Research in the lab enhances the understanding of mechanisms underlying injury and disease and quantifies improvements in movement in response to rehabilitation. 

Other research equipment in the Motion Analysis Lab includes the Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer to identify, treat, and document the physical impairments that cause functional limitations; the Armeo®spring which supports the recovery of arm and hand function; and Telerehabilitation System for Stroke which measures and analyzes the amount and quality of movements performed when individuals with stroke play virtual reality games on this system.

Gait Rehabilitation and Research Lab

Featuring a state-of-the-art 180 degree virtual reality motion analysis system (GRAIL) by Motekforce, the Gait Rehabilition and Research Lab (GRRL) has an instrumented treadmill with 6-degrees of freedom, 10 integrated cameras, and EMG systems, which provides DPT faculty with instrumentation to conduct cutting edge human movement system intervention studies. For more details, visit the GRRL website.

Anatomy Wet/Dry Lab

One space used for human tissues that are considered “dry.” The other houses our resident cadavers.  The dry lab fits 29 and the wet lab fits 49 people comfortably and is equipped with 8 flat screen TVs (three in Wet/Dry lab and five in Cadaver Lab), multiple microscopes, individual extension cords so all students can bring in their personal laptops and electronics.  

A rolling camera cart allows for viewing of dissections that are occurring from the cadaver room, and the viewing can be presented in the dry lab.  This camera allows for more students to learn the dissection, and not overcrowding near a specific specimen. A rolling computer cart, Apple TV and HDMI Laptop connection are provided in each room.
