Stanford University Biomechanics Laboratory

The Stanford University Biomechanics Laboratory is a research facility focused on studying the mechanics of human movement and the physical principles behind it. Researchers here analyze how our bodies function during activities like walking, running, and jumping, using advanced technologies such as motion capture and force measuring instruments. Their work aims to improve athletic performance, enhance rehabilitation methods, and develop better ergonomic designs. By understanding how forces interact with the human body, the lab contributes to fields such as sports science, medicine, and engineering.
