Lab Equipment and Facilities
In the Fall of 2006 we opened our human physiology laboratory which, combined with our biomechanics, exercise and environmental physiology, neuromuscular, and anatomy labs, hosts a variety of research and teaching equipment including:
- OxyconPro cardiopulmonary system
- Sable cardiopulmonary system
- Transcranial magnetic stimulator
- High flow pneuatach flow head transducer (spirometry)
- Go 2 altitude (hypoxic generator)
- Portable metabolic system
- Biopac and CED data acquisition (electromyography, force, and goniometry)
- Electrical muscle stimulator
- Inversion (tilt) chair apparatus
- Temperature controlled immersion tank (-3.0 – 40.0°C)
- Lumbar motion monitor
- Foot pressure measuring system
- Platform motion monitoring
- Axial accelerometers and load cells
- Treadmill ergometer (high speed)
- Cycle ergometer
- Kinematic measurement system
- 2/6 DOF motion simulators (Centre for Marine Simulation)
- Range of motion testing system (lower and upper body)
- Modular leg extension
- Fitness testing and evaluation equipment
