Research Laboratory
The Arizona School of Health Sciences houses a 1,600 square foot Interdisciplinary Research Lab (IRL), which is supported and overseen by the Department of Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. Currently, equipment available for faculty and student research projects includes a Kistler 9286 AA Slimline Force Plate and Walkway System, a portable multi-component force plate for measuring ground reaction forces and moments acting in any direction and two surface EMG units, the Noraxon My system 1200 4-channel and My system 1400 8-channel surface EMG, for assessment of neuromuscular performance characteristics. Motion analysis is possible using a Phloem’s 3-Space Fastback electromagnetic spatial tracking system. A Ringmaster computerized stress device is available for assessment of ankle, knee, elbow, and glen humeral joint force-displacement characteristics. The lab is also equipped with a Cyber 330 Isokinetic Dynamometer with the HUMAC/Windows/CYBEX 300 upgrade, Data Pac 2K2 data acquisition software, a Teton tremor box and foam blocks for balance assessment, a treadmill, a total gym, electro goniometers, a lower extremity perturbation device, and several desktop and laptop computers.
