University of California, Berkeley Biomechanics Laboratory

The University of California, Berkeley Biomechanics Laboratory is a research facility dedicated to studying how the human body moves and functions. It uses advanced tools and technology to analyze movement patterns, muscle forces, and joint mechanics in both healthy individuals and those with injuries or conditions. This research helps improve sports performance, develop better rehabilitation techniques, and understand injury prevention. The lab integrates engineering, physics, and biology to gain insights into the complex mechanics of the human body, ultimately aiming to enhance health, function, and quality of life.
