In the last decade, the clinical biomechanics evaluations applied to orthopaedics and sports traumatology have been a strong interest of our laboratory. Through innovative research in clinical biomechanics, our laboratory has developed a better strategy of clinical assessments and treatments.
Functional assessments and morphological information combined with biomechanical measurements of the locomotor apparatus provides a better diagnosis of the pathology in order to prescribe the most appropriate treatment strategy, either conservative or operative. Our clinical approach is also used to identify the readiness of athletes to return to sport.

Our clinical and research personnel experts are in the field of orthopaedics, sports medicine, biomechanics, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and physical education. Our group is also involved with international specialists to guide our clinical and biomechanical research program. Two experts in the field of orthopaedics and biomechanics are working with our laboratory as consultants and research collaborators namely Professors E. Eriksson (Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden) and M. Lamontagne (University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada).

Our personnel at the laboratory of clinical biomechanics performs research, clinical evaluations and biomechanical assessments in gait, posture and balance, muscle strength and fatigue, proprioception of neuromuscular system, muscle activation, joint stability, and sport related activity. Our laboratory is equipped with three-dimensional motion analysis system, force and foot pressure measurement system, and telemetric surface EMG equipment as well as isokinetic device to measure muscle strength and fatigue.
