My lab has a variety of equipment for comparative and
experimental studies of the musculoskeletal system.
Major equipment for experimental research includes: |
|
|
|
|
• |
10 Grass Telefactor EMG Amplifiers for indwelling or
surface electromygraphy |
|
• |
14 Vishay Model 2120 Strain Conditioners and Amplifiers
for in vivo and in vitro bone strain studies |
|
• |
4 Channel Sonometrics sonomicrometry system for studies
of muscle strain in vivo |
|
• |
Assortment of digitial video cameras, including Casio
Exilim EX-F1 with high speed capabilities |
|
• |
Adjustable strain-gauge bite force transducers for
medium (primate) and small (mouse) animals. |
|
• |
National Instruments Data Acquisition System and
associated LabView Software |
|
|
Thanks to a
National Science Foundation Major Research
Instrumentation grant, we will be obtaining the
following equipment for the Large Animal Comparative
Biomechanics Research Facility: |
|
|
|
|
• |
2
cinefluoroscopes and
XROMM imaging capabilities |
|
• |
8-camera
Qualysis Oqus motion capture system (allows high speed
frame-based and infrared marker motion capture up to
10,000 fps) |
|
• |
Bertec
Quad-belt force-plate instrumented treadmill |
