Mission
text
The Human and Sport Performance Laboratory supports injury recovery as well as enhanced sport performance. The laboratory includes an instrumented split-belt Bertec treadmill, eight Vicon Bonita cameras, 16-channel Delsys Trigno electromyography system, a Biodex , MotionMonitor software to synchronize, collect and export data, and a Hokanson cuff for blood flow restriction. The laboratory also has 4D Motion Sports inertial measurement units to monitor kinematics and workload in sport-specific environments, such as the baseball mound and the ice skating rink.

Amputation study
Seeking: Individuals 18 years and older with peripheral artery disease and history of below knee or above knee amputation.
Purpose: To learn more about leg strength and walking ability after amputation.
Procedures: This study will investigate changes in strength and walking ability after using a blood pressure cuff on your leg for 50 minutes.
Time: This study requires 2-10 visits, each one lasting 1-3 hours.
Payment: Participants will be compensated for each study visit (up to 10 visits).

Improving mobility for amputees
Seeking: Individuals 18 years and older with history of above knee amputation.
Purpose: To learn more about leg strength and walking ability, and improve function after amputation.
Procedures: This study will investigate changes in strength, muscle volume, arterial stiffness, and walking ability after using a blood pressure cuff for short intervals on your leg for 50 minutes.
Time: This study requires 2-10 visits, each one lasting 1-3 hours.
Payment: Participants will be compensated or each study visit (up to 10 visits).
