UW - Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab
Share
Our experimental facilities include capabilities to record three dimensional kinematics, kinetics and dynamic images during movmement.
The UW Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory conducts research on the biomechanics and neuromuscular coordination of human movement, with applications in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Computer simulations are used to characterize musculotendon dynamics, estimate internal loadings and test principles guiding movement control. The overall goal of the research is to establish a scientific basis for

Happy National Biomechanics Day! To celebrate, members of the UW biomechanics community came together to share their love of biomechanics with people of all ages through their Engineering Expo exhibit, The Human Machine, which included a variety of interactive demonstrations. Undergraduate Alex Teague was featured in this article for his Robo Claw demonstration.
An expedition to explore science Hundreds of families and children enjoyed hands-on activities, from blowing giant bubbles to launching water rockets at this year’s Science Expeditions from April 5 to 7.

Astrophysicist Barbie is perfect. That's not how you attract more girls to STEM careers. My female engineering students often say their ideas aren't good enough for academia. Men don't fixate on their imperfections, women shouldn't either.

Creating a buzz: Future wearables could tell us how we power human movement - College of Engineering - University of Wisconsin-Madison For athletes and weekend warriors alike, returning from a tendon injury too soon often ensures a trip right back to physical therapy. However, a new technology developed by University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers could one day help tell whether your tendons are ready for action. A team of research...
