The Biomechanics Laboratory and the Motor Behavior Laboratory are housed together on the ground floor of the Kinesiology Tower. Human movement can be studied in over 5000 square feet of open floor space plus six separate experiment and analysis rooms. Within this setting, motor learning and control influences in movement can be merged with biomechanical data.
In the Motor Behavior Section of the Laboratory numerous
devices are available for measuring and evaluating motor
behavior, some of which are pictured and described below.
The barrier knockdown task: six padded barriers with start and stop
buttons, interfaced to a computer.
