AIMS
-
To provide, maintain, and support state-of-the-art tools for non-invasive physical function and biomechanical assessment.
-
To develop and support novel quantitative tools for assessment of physical function and biomechanics.
-
To provide interpretation of data and assess links between diverse activity and biomechanical metrics collected and to the relevant clinical or experimental endpoints.
-
To provide a webportal and forums for stimulating collaboration, learning, and improving upon our current approaches where we will present new research and technology innovation to the REACH and BACPAC communities.
