Research Centre for Clinical Kinesiology (RCCK Lab)
The RCCK Lab is a state of the art movement analysis laboratory.
Equipment
| Name | Make/Model | Details |
|---|---|---|
| GRAIL | MMGRA-30140601 | The GRAIL comprises an instrumented dual-belt treadmill, a motion capture system and synchronised virtual reality environment and 3 video cameras. The treadmill is dual belt with integrated force plates mounted on a two degrees of freedom motion frame. A harness mechanism is attached to the ceiling for safety and handrails are located either side of the treadmill. A 180o cylindrical projection screen is positioned at the front of the system with 3 ceiling mounted projectors providing wide angle lens projections. There are ceiling and wall mounted motion capture (infrared) cameras. This is supported by a server rack that houses a D-Flow computer, motion capture computer, image generator (running projector software), videoserver, main network switch, video network switch, KVM (video, keyboard mouse switch), Vicon lock+ and an audio amplifier. There is also a treadmill control cabinet (MIC). This is all operated by the operator desk which houses 3 monitors, 2 keyboards and a system operator console. The software includes D-Flow, MoCap and Nexus. The GRAIL has been integrated with equipment allowing us to monitor muscle activity levels (via surface electromyography) during movements and deliver electrical nerve or muscle stimulation or transcranial (brain) magnetic stimulation during treadmill walking. |
| Vicon camera | Vero 2.2 | This system comprises a 12-camera Vicon Vero v2.2 system, with cameras affixed to the walls or tripods or mounted on the ceiling, 2 Vue video cameras and 1 capture PC and monitor. There are 2 force plates sunken into the floor which integrate with the Vicon system. |
| Tobii Pro Spectrum | Tobii Proc Spectrum | Tobii Pro Spectrum is a high-performance eye tracking system designed equipped with advanced features that allow for precise eye tracking across various environments and activities. The system is capable of capturing detailed data on gaze, eye movement, and pupil size, making it useful for understanding visual attention, cognitive processes, and user behaviour in complex tasks. |
| Tobii Glasses 2 | Tobii Glasses 2 | Tobii Glasses 2 is an innovative wearable eye tracking solution designed to study visual attention and behavior in real-world settings. This device integrates eye tracking technology with a compact, wearable format, making it suitable for a variety of applications, such as user experience studies, clinical research, and observational studies in natural environments. |
| Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) | Magstim 200 BiStim module | Non-invasive brain stimulation – single- and paired-pulse stimulation |
| Electromyogram (EMG) | Delsys Trigno system with Avanti and Quattro sensors and wireless base station | Wireless multi-channel Electromyogram (EMG) system |
| Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer | Biodex 840-10 | Biodex is an Isokinetic Dynamometer that measures muscle strength, power |
