Experimental Apparatus
Our Laboratory (the Ergonomics Unit) has almost all necessary experimental apparatus for research in ergonomics, biomechanics, applied physiology, etc.
We can measure the following…
- Physical strain (oxygen uptake*, electromyogram (EMG)*)
- Physiological responses (blood flow, body temperature, cardiac output, etc.)
- Motion analysis (real-time 3D motion analyzer including 10 infrared cameras, 3 force plates, magnetic position analyzer, goniometers*, footswitches*)
- Body composition (3 ultrasound systems , muscle cross-sectional imaging, muscle tightness, bio-impedance)
- Comfort index (electroencephalogram*, heart rate variability)
- Body pressure (air-pack method, film sheet method, foot pressure, finger pressure)
- ETC (visual line movement)
