Research Labs

The teaching area of the laboratory is divided into three "Teaching Pods," each capable of serving as a fully functional laboratory. Each pod is equipped with a clinical treadmill, an electronically braked cycle ergometer, a friction-braked cycle ergometer, a wireless electrocardiogram system, a metabolic measurement cart, patient bed, two computers, and a data acquisition system through which all variables can be measured and easily viewed.

The Locomotor Peformance Laboratory specializes in terrestrial locomotion and in relating muscle function to metabolic energy expenditure and performance.
