Motion Analysis Laboratories at Olin

OREC's Motion Analysis Laboratory at Olin is located on the third floor of the Olin Engineering building on the Marquette University campus.  The facility provides an 800-square-foot area that includes a 20-foot walkway and two motion analysis systems.  The laboratory supports a ten-camera Qualisys system, an 18-camera OptiTrack system, a 6-DOF AMTI ground reaction force plate and an eight-channel Trigno™ EMG system.  Workstations in the laboratory support image reconstruction for biplanar fluoroscopy, as well as several student workspaces.  Available software includes AMASS, Image 2D, Visual 3D, custom Qualisys MoCap software, EMG Works, Microsoft Office, MATLAB and MAPS (open source software for motion analysis data capture, management and reporting). The OREC Motion Analysis Laboratory collaborates with OREC's Biomaterials and Histology Laboratory and OREC's Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory for biomechanical testing. In addition, the MAL supports OREC outreach laboratories in Cali, Colombia; Manila, Philippines; Mexico City, Mexico; Mumbai, India; and Taoyuan City, Taiwan.
