Musculoskeletal Biomotion Laboratory

Peter Barrance, PhD, directs the Musculoskeletal Biomotion Research Laboratory, part of the Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation. Focusing on pediatric mobility, the Lab team has developed several systems that use wearable sensors to provide movement biofeedback for gait training in children with brain injury. Lab researchers also focus on adult musculoskeletal pathologies, using advanced MRI and ultrasound imaging techniques to study joint changes and investigate the use of state-of-the-art robotic systems to decrease pain and improve mobility.
