Muscular Assessment Laboratory

The Muscular Assessment Laboratory was designed to allow researchers to study muscle strength and function of the lower body during isokinetic, isometric, and dynamic constant external resistance (DCER) muscle actions. A mobile computer cart with Delsys electromyographic (EMG) equipment is often wheeled in and out of the lab as well. The equipment in the Muscular Assessment Laboratory includes a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer, a custom-built chair designed to measure isometric strength of the leg extensors, and DCER leg extension and curl machines.
