Gait Labs
Biomechanical research often involves understanding how modern animals move. The Department of Anatomy has several resources to facilitate the acquisition and analysis of kinetic, metabolic, electromyographic, 2-D, and 3-D movement data in humans and animals.
Riland Human Gait Lab
This human locomotion laboratory contains all the integrated equipment needed for a wide variety of human performance testing, including a high-speed 14-camera Vicon system, integrated AMTI force plate treadmill as well as walkway mounted force plates, a Noraxon Ultium EMG system, and a Cosmed CPET metabolic cart.

Comparative Animal Motion Lab (CAML)鈥�
This small animal locomotion lab is used to measure animal performance in a wide variety of conditions. Equipment includes high-speed Xcitex cameras for kinematic data collection, various force plates and transducers, respirometry and electromyography capabilities, and a selection of both treadmills and aquatic flow tanks.

Portable Field-based Equipment
In addition to these on-campus labs, the department has鈥痯ortable and field-based鈥痙ata collection tools and resources that can be used anywhere. These include numerous portable highspeed cameras and associated gear, portable force plates, and a Cosmed K5 portable respirometry unit.
The Department of Anatomy also has a selection of tools and instruments to aid in the collection of field-based kinematic data. We also have a variety of tripods and camera mounting equipment, including:
- that can accommodate a range of lens mounts and types.
- M12 and C-Mount lenses, ranging from fixed ~4 mm M12 lenses to varifocal 135 mm lenses.
