What's inside the human performance lab?

 

Human Performance Research at CMCC is conducted in both the Human Performance Lab and the FSTT® Lab.

Human Performance Lab

 

Our extensive suite of instrumentation gives us the flexibility to evaluate the biomechanics of almost any task. Data collected in the laboratory is processed and analyzed by our personnel, using state-of-the-art software.

FSTT Lab

CMCC is a world-leader in using technology for the teaching and learning of manual therapy skills. The technology is also used to study psychomotor skill development. Fundamental to this are CMCC’s Force Sensing Table Technology (FSTT®) system and the Human Analog Manikin (HAM®). The FSTT® Lab houses nine systems with each being comprised of a: 

  • Custom-designed chiropractic treatment table
  • AMTI force plate embedded in thoracic section of table
  • Either 8-channel or 16-channel National Instruments data acquisition unit
  • In-house developed Matlab software for collecting and analyzing data.
