Biomechanics Educational Laboratory

The Biomechanics Educational Laboratory, located on the second floor of Block F on the Riello campus, is used for practical exercises and teaching activities in the Biomechanics Laboratory (LM-33 Mechanical Engineering) and Functional Rehabilitation (L-22 Sport, Wellness, and Exercise in Natural Environments) courses. The laboratory is equipped with advanced instruments for human and biomechanical movement analysis.

In particular, the following equipment is available:

• VIcon optoelectronic system with 12 cameras and Nexus data analysis software, used for three-dimensional motion capture and analysis in advanced biomechanical applications.
• Wearable inertial sensor system, consisting of 12 sensors, for camera-less motion monitoring and measurement.
• Sensorized gloves and a sensor suit, used for detailed detection and analysis of hand and body movements, critical in ergonomics studies, functional re-education and applied biomechanics.

The laboratory is also equipped with computer stations for simulation and processing of data collected during experiments. With this equipment, the biomechanics laboratory is able to support a wide range of educational and research activities, from measuring human body movements to evaluating rehabilitation techniques and optimizing physical performance.
