Stanford Biomechanics Laboratory

The Stanford Biomechanics Laboratory is a research facility at Stanford University focused on studying how the human body moves and interacts with its environment. Using advanced equipment, scientists analyze forces, motions, and muscle actions to understand movement—advancing fields like sports performance, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and medical device design. The lab combines engineering, biology, and medicine, often working with athletes, patients, and new technology to improve health, performance, and recovery. Its work helps develop better treatments, safer athletic activities, and innovative solutions for mobility challenges.
