The Design Laboratory develops the electronic instrumentation and
electromechanical systems used in the investigation of neuromuscular
performance by the NMRC laboratories
The Motion Analysis Lab researchers focus on developing techniques
for investigating the relationship between the mechanics of movement
and the characteristics of the electromyographic data and on
implementing methods for studying the neural control and biomechanics
of posture
The Motor Unit Laboratory researchers focus on understanding the
strategies that the central nervous system employs in controlling
muscle fibers in order to produce smooth muscle force
The Muscle Fatigue Lab researchers focus on the development and
implementation of surface electromyographic techniques to objectively
measure muscle impairments on the basis of estimates of localized
muscle fatigue
