The University of Dallas Human Performance Laboratory is a multifunctional facility. Equipment is state-of-the-art and allows students and faculty to perform research and investigate techniques used in biomechanics, , exercise science, and performance training.
Areas of interest include human motion analysis using kinematic/dynamic studies. Balance, movement, and gait assessment in elderly for fall prevention are focused areas of research.
Our video motion analysis and intertial measurement units allow for the collection of quantifiable data on position in plane, position vs. time, angular velocity & acceleration, angle, rotation (6DOF), acceleration, average, median & FIR filters, stick figure plot, and spline interpolation. This coupled with electromyography and work physiology provide a robust performance profile.
