Overall Laboratory Capabilities: The OSE/IP Ergonomics/Biomechanics, Human Factors, and work simulation/gait laboratories are well equipped with most data collection equipment field-capable for on-site data collection. The labs are capable of motion capture, wireless electromyography (EMG), force measurement, vision tracking, and vibration measurement. In addition, the labs are capable of environmental assessment including noise, temperature, humidity, and illumination. Measurement of subject characteristics is afforded with various strength dynamometers and anthropometry measurement devices. The gait laboratory has a 60-foot walkway with motion capture, force plates, and fall protection system for subjects.
