The MoveX Lab provides cutting-edge biomechanical analysis to support research, education, clinical practice, and commercial partnerships.
Using advanced motion capture, force measurement, and muscle function assessment technologies, we deliver detailed insights into human movement for body healthy and clinical populations.
Our work aims to enhance rehabilitation strategies, optimise athletic performance, and improve understanding of movement impairments.
The biomechanics suite is equipped with a comprehensive range of specialist technology for assessing movement mechanics, neuromuscular control, and musculoskeletal function.
The lab is currently focused on two key research themes:
Clinical Biomechanics: Investigating movement impairments in clinical populations, with a particular emphasis on stroke rehabilitation and musculoskeletal conditions.
Performance Biomechanics: Enhancing movement efficiency and injury prevention strategies in athletes through detailed kinematic assessments.
Key equipment:
Vicon 3D Motion Capture Cameras: Provide high-resolution movement analysis for gait assessment, posture evaluation, and sports performance studies. Portable options allow data collection in real-world environments.
Force Plates: Measure ground reaction forces (GRF) to assess balance, gait mechanics, and force distribution during movement. Integrated and portable systems are available.
Electromyography (EMG): Record muscle activation patterns to evaluate neuromuscular function, movement coordination, and fatigue-related changes in performance.
Isokinetic Dynamometer: Assess muscle torque, strength, fatigue, and imbalances, aiding targeted rehabilitation and performance optimisation.
Through our research and collaborative projects, the MoveX Lab aims to advance biomechanical understanding and translate findings into real-world applications that benefit both parties and practitioners.
