Under Construction and Updating
Sitting Biomechanics Laboratory
|
The Sitting Biomechanics lab is directed by Drs. Mohsen Makhsous and Fang Lin. Located in the Department of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences, this lab actively contributes to help people with disabilities lead the most independent and fulfilling lives possible. The Sitting Biomechanics lab emphasizes Research, Development and Teaching of rehabilitation related biomechanics, with the focus being on both clinical prevention/treatment and basic sciences.
Attention: the pictures in some of the studies may be disturbing to some people. Please take caution!

Occupational Safety and Health
Occupational Health research focuses on sitting related problems, mainly low back disorders. This part of research has been supported by NIOSH and our industrial partners. Projects in two major areas, office sitting and vehicle sitting, have been carried out.Occupational Lower Back Pain - office workers (pdf)
Whole Body Vibration - professional vehicle drivers (pdf)
