Clinical Integration of Musculoskeletal Biomechanics (CLIMB) Lab

Description

The CLIMB lab utilizes biomechanical equipment to assess motion, muscle activation, proprioception, and strength in patients with musculoskeletal health conditions including osteoarthritis, joint replacement, low back pain, foot reconstructive surgery, and amputations. CLIMB lab contains state of the art equipment including 8 camera motion capture system, electromagnetic motion capture system, four force plates, two 16-channel electromyography systems, isokinetic dynamometer, and proprioceptive assessment devices.
