Locomotion Research Lab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Locomotion Research Laboratory is located at Bulldog Hall on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University.  The two-story building has office and collaboration spaces. The building features two laboratories, preparation\/changing rooms, three conference rooms, numerous graduate student offices and student workstations. The shared-use facilities utilize more than 2000 sq. ft. of space that is configured for the development of rehabilitation technology and for neuromotor assessment for individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The laboratory has space and equipment to enable non-invasive measurements of biomechanical, neural control, metabolic and cardiorespiratory variables. The facility includes a gait lab that is equipped for kinematic and kinetic analysis of overground locomotion and has a ceiling-mounted low-friction harness system for safe perturbation experiments. One adjacent room houses the Motek Medical GRAIL system which consists of a dual-belt instrumented treadmill capable of delivering pitch, sway, and surge perturbations. The gait lab and the GRAIL treadmill space both have ceiling mounted harnesses for safety that also allow rigorous testing of situation when balance is compromised.<\/p>\n\n\n

2) Virtual Reality laboratory \u2013 A 43\u2019 x 29\u2019 laboratory housing a rear-projection Virtual Reality system that is integrated with 3 Video Cameras and 10-Bonita Infra-red cameras with Vicon 3D digital motion capture system, and a Bertec instrumented split-belt treadmill. In addition, a wireless Delsys EMG system synchronized using D-Flow software from Motek Medical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Equipment for the proposed project:<\/strong>
The Locomotion Research Laboratory has all the equipment needed for the successful completion of various biomechanical projects. The Lab includes state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for virtually any biomechanics project available. All equipment is housed within the PEBE hall and the PI has immediate access to all equipment. Equipment specific to this project includes
following instruments:
\u2013 3D motion-capture system: (VICON\u00ae, nexus, 3 video cameras and 10 Bonita camera, Oxford Metrics, Oxford, UK) that tracks the kinematics of whole body movement within the integration of kinetics. It can also provide real time (10ms delay) feedback to the kinematics of the markers.
\u2013 Instrumented split-belt treadmill: ; a dual-belt instrumented treadmill (GRAIL, Motek Medical BV, Amsterdam) with pitch (incline\/decline), sway (medial\/lateral), and surge (anterior\/posterior) capabilities, immersive real-time video, and kinematic tracking; other treadmills.
\u2013 Xsens is 3D motion tracking technology and its sensor fusion technologies enable a seamless interaction between the physical and the digital and 3D character animation and motion analysis. Three Awinda stations for cahrginag and wireless transmission. The Awinda Station can receive data from up to 20 MTw\u2019s simultaneously Data from multiple MTw\u2019s is time-synchronized to within 10\u03bcs Charges up to 6 MTw\u2019s simultaneously.
\u2013 Trigno\u2122 Wireless Systems and Smart Sensors: 16 EMG channels, 48 accelerometer channels with 16-bit resolution, 1926 Hz EMG sampling rate with 8 hours of operation in full transmission mode.
\u2013 Jamar Grip Strength Dynamometer measures isometric grip force from 0\u2013200 lbs (90 kg).
\u2013 AMTI\u2019s AccuGait Optimized\u2122 multi-axis force platform is a portable forceplate for quantifying human gait and balance. The AccuGait\u2019s forceplate is accurate, economical, and easy to use with AMTI\u2019s powerful NetForce software. It has plug & play USB interface which automatically synchronizes multiple platforms and eliminates external power supplies. AccuGait Optimized has unprecedented levels of accuracy for measuring Center of Pressure, forces and moments, as well as dramatic reductions in crosstalk.
