BIOMECHANICS
ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE LABORATORY OF ITS KIND
IN LATINAMERICA
Equipments that employ state-of-the-art technology allows us to study abnormalities in the walking cycle, abnormalities in the feet, changes in the distribution of plantar pressure, and asymmetry in the body structure. Here we can perform anthropometry studies, ergonomics and fatigue analysis on specific groups of muscle.
Highly specialized equipments:
Full-body 3D Scan
Optical laser scanning system applicable to the design of:
- Spaces (homes, offices, hospitals, factories, cars, furniture, etc.).
- Medical products (prosthetics, specialized clothing).
- Tools (medical, work).
Foot scan, INFOOT 3D
Mainly used for the design of:
- Lasts for customized footwear.
- Shoes for feet with pathologies.
- Orthosis design.
Equipment for 3D motion capture
Mainly used in the film industry for the kinetic animation of science fiction characters, for developing videogames and in sports to improve lraining techniques. At CIATEC it is also used for walking analysis, rehabilitation, posture, and for medical purposes evaluation of locomotion means.
Baropodometry equipment
Providing measurements to set the pattern for:
- Design and manufacture of orthopedic insoles that can regulate the biomechanics of the foot as naturally as possible.
- Proposal of rehabilitation techniques, through the analysis of the walking and plantar strength.
- Propose posture correction exercises.
- Design orthopedic elements.
3D force platforms
For measuring reaction forces that exist between the ground surface and the feet during walking, used in:
- The evaluation of high performance athletes, to improve their performance.
- To define actions to prevent injuries in athletes.
Surface Electromyography (EMGs)
For measuring the level of activation of the superficial muscles of the human body, through the use of electrodes, and allows for the detection of neurological problems or the development of fatigue analysis in high performance athletes.
Computerized numerical control (CNC) machine used in the manufacture of orthopedic components.
Computerized numerical control machine
Used in the manufacture of orthopedic components.
