Human Movement Analysis Laboratory
The recent creation of the Human Movement Analysis Laboratory has boosted the research needs of the scientific community in the area of Neurotraumatology and Rehabilitation. This has strengthened the infrastructure of ibs.GRANADA, thanks to the acquisition of a motion capture system using infrared technology, with integrated force platforms and an electromyography system, as well as portable dysphagia equipment.
The Human Movement Analysis Unit is located in the Cartuja Peripheral Specialty Center, next to the Traumatology Hospital (a hospital that is part of the Virgen de las Nieves Hospital).
The Human Movement Analysis laboratory adds value to products, services and research in clinical practice, making them more competitive at a scientific-technical level and making a difference in the concepts of result and impact. It is a high-tech measuring instrument to objectify the parameters of human movement in all possible aspects. The movement analysis laboratory is an essential tool in biomedical research in this field. This unit is a reference within the National Health System and has several lines of research that could be expanded and strengthened with this tool. Carrying out research with greater technological endowment implies carrying out work with higher quality, which will translate into publications in journals with greater impact.
- Telerehabilitation of hip fracture in the elderly
- Botulinum toxin in idiopathic toe walking by instrumented gait analysis.
- Rehabilitation interventions for fatigue and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis
- Analysis of human swallowing using external motion sensors with fibroendoscopic control
- Fast-track for knee and hip arthroplasty that is carried out in a pioneering way in Andalusia, with the orthopedic surgery and traumatology unit.
- Motor control of the scapulohumeral rhythm in therapeutic exercise of shoulder soft tissue pathology
- Pre- and post-application of botulinum toxin in children and adults.
