Biomechanics

The LABO has a long tradition in biomechanics and functional anatomy. We strongly believe that the kind of research we performed is unique thanks to a blend of expertises covering all required aspects; from anatomy, clinics, technological development and quality project management (also see our Expertise & Consultancy page).

The topics below are the main current biomechanical projects currently running at LABO. If you are interested by anyone of them, please contact and mention the research project you are interested in.
