Podium presentation Instructions | Poster presentation InstructionsWednesday, August 22
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Biomotion Lab
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Human Performance Lab
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Stanford Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab
The primary mission of the Biomotion Laboratory is to study normal and pathological function which can be ultimately applied to the improved evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal disease and injury. The goals are addressed by studying normal subjects and patients with injury or disease that influence the normal function of the musculoskeletal system. In addition, the BioMotion group is committed to the development of improved methods for the measurement and analysis of human movement.
You can tour the lab from 1-3pm. You can learn more about the lab at:http://biomotion.stanford.edu We are located on Stanford's Main Campus in the Durand Building. You can get directions at: http://biomotion.stanford.edu/directions. If you would like to attend the tour, please send an email message to Chris Dyrby ( dyrby@stanford.edu) so that we know how many people will attend.
Human Performance Lab
Human Performance Laboratory at Stanford provides sport science support to the Stanford Athletics Program and its 900 varsity athletes. As a center for excellence in sport science, we also perform interdisciplinary research bringing together fields such as biomechanics, biomedical engineering, physiology and exercise physiology, orthopaedics, mechanobiology, and exercise rehabilitation. We are situated within the new Sport and Recreation Facility on campus, next to the Sports Medicine Center and Rehabilitation Clinic. If you would like to sign up for a tour, please send an email to Gannon Sungar (stanfordHPL@gmail.com) so that we can plan ahead for your visit and send you directions.Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab
The Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab combines experimental and computational approaches to study movement. We investigate the form and function of biomechanical systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. We seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and are motivated by opportunities to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson's disease. You can tour the lab from 3-5pm. You can learn more about the lab at: http://nmbl.stanford.edu/index.htm. We are located in the Clark Center on the Stanford Campus. You can get directions at: nmbl.stanford.edu/directions/index.htm. If you would like to attend the tour, please send an email message to Melinda Cromie (mjcromie@stanford.edu) so that we know how many people are coming.
Stanford Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab
The Stanford Cardiovascular Biomechanics Lab has the primary mission of developing theoretical, computational, and experimental technology to quantify anatomic structure and physiologic response of the human vascular system under normal, diseased, and surgically-altered states. We implement methods for improving vascular disease diagnosis, surgical planning, and prosthesis design and hope to create transferable technology for use by medical professionals and disseminate results to scientific and medical communities.To get a demonstration on our in-house software, SIMVASCULAR, and some of our models and simulation results, stop by the co-laboratory on the third floor of Clark Center's south wing between 3:00pm and 5:00pm on Wednesday, August 22nd. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Hedi at razavih@stanford.edu. You can learn more about the lab by visiting http://taylorlab.stanford.edu.
