Biomechanical Testing Facility (BTF) Overview
We partner with industry to conduct research in the following areas:
- Musculoskeletal disease pathomechanics
- Development and evaluation of promising new orthopaedic technologies
- Creation of testing standards for cross-product comparisons of medical devices
- Biomechanical testing
- Material property characterization
- Multiaxial testing
- Failure analysis
- Internal stress analysis
- Three-dimensional motion tracking
- Medical Imaging
- Cadaver Labs
We offer two types of contracts in order to meet your needs:
Service Contracts
Short-term projects that consist of existing IRC experimental protocols. We will execute the experiment and post-process the data on an expedited time schedule.
Research Agreements
Research Agreements are longer term projects with custom-designed experimental protocols. In addition to planning and executing the experiment, we will collaborate with you to interpret and publish the data.
We specialize in:
- Comprehensive project planning
- Custom experimental and data analysis protocols
- Dissemination of results in the scientific community (e.g. journal manuscripts and conference abstracts)
