Spaces

Our research is actively carried out at various locations throughout eastern Canada, and we are consistently broadening our reach through collaborative research initiatives.

  • Dalhousie university

    The Dynamics of Human Motion (DOHM) Lab is equipped with state-of-the-art motion capture, force sensing, and electromyography technology for instrumented research into the biomechanics of human movement in health and disease; We focus on kinetic, kinematic, and multivariate statistical modeling of human movement data.

  • Halifax Infirmary

    The Halifax Infirmary is the second site in Canada to have a MAKO surgical robotic system for joint replacement surgery. This hospital is the central hub of our surgical robotics research program, where we have installed a markerless motion capture system in the Orthopaedic Clinic Hallway. Patient biomechanics data during walking and other functional activities is collected on osteoarthritis patients during hospital visits.

  • Hamilton, ON

    St. Joseph’s hospital in Hamilton, Ontario is the home of Canada’s first MAKO Robotic System. We have a marker-based optical motional capture system installed in the Orthopaedic clinic hallway space there to collect patient gait data.
