LABORATORY FOR BIOMECHANICS

Back to About Us

Human biomechanics is the interdisciplinary field linking engineering and human biology. In the laboratory for biomechanics, students work on various teaching and research topics:

  • Anthropometry
  • Kinematics and kinetics of human movement
  • Measuring strain on the human body
  • Endoprostheses
  • Exoprostheses
  • Mechanical properties of biomaterials
  • Sensor technology and the human body
  • Ergonomics
  • Medical aids and appliances

Equipment

  • Force plates
  • Ultrasound motion analysis
  • Small-load test machine
  • Treadmill
  • Strain gauge measurement technology
  • Mobile data loggers
  • Sensor equipment for force, displacement, acceleration, angle
  • Endoprostheses, exoprostheses, orthotics
  • Medical aids and appliances
