Research

The Center for Occupational Safety, Ergonomics, and Injury Prevention has three primary lab spaces. The biomechanics, human Factors, and work simulation/gait laboratories are well equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for both lab and field-based data collection, including: optical and inertial motion capture, force plates, multiple electromyography (EMG) systems, and vibration measurement. Measurement of subject characteristics is afforded with various strength dynamometers and anthropometry measurement devices. The gait laboratory has a 60-foot walkway with a fall protection system for subjects.
