The Space
Our lab is located in Welch Hall (WH 23) at Brock University, and houses a full 3D motion capture studio. Within this studio we have the capacity to gather data from time-synchronized surface Electromyography and Forceplate equipment to facilitate a holistic examination of spine movement. To acquire and analyze our data, researchers have access to GPU-enabled desktops and sophisticated biomechanical data analysis software.
In addition to our dedicated laboratory, we have access to 3D printers, forms, CNC, and other machines through the Brock MakerSpace (right)!
