About

The activity of the laboratory relies mainly on imaging techniques and biomechanical equipment, to study the neuromuscular function. The focus of this activity spans fundamental questions, physical performance, ageing and musculoskeletal pathologies.

Methods

  • B-mode ultrasonography (muscle-tendon structure and deformation during movement)
  • Shear-wave ultrasonography (material properties of soft tissues)
  • Isokinetic testing (articular torque)
  • Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (neural and muscular function)
  • Electromyography (neural and muscular function)

Teaching

Arbeidsfysiologi (THP200), bachelor- og masteroppgaver, Biomekanikk (THP300)
