Human Performance and Biomechanical Research
Andrews-Paulos Research & Education Institute:
Human Performance and Biomechanical Research
APREI provides biomechanical assessments to reduce the risk of injury or re-injury by
addressing the efficiency of an athlete’s body mechanics using proven scientific methods
and state-of-the-art biomechanics.
Assessments can be provided to athletes participating in a number of sporting activities
and identify the potential physical imbalances and body movements that may limit performance
and increase the risk of injury. Additionally, APREI conducts research that will help drive the
human performance of amateur and professional athletes including “warrior athletes,”
better known as members of our armed forces.
On-site resources for human performance research include:
Human Performance Biomechanics Laboratory
- 10 camera optical Vicon Nexus motion analysis system
- 2 camera high speed video system
- 4 Bertec force plates,
- “Zerowire” wireless EMG system
- The complete biomechanics system is integrated to
provide a global assessment of various populations
Body Composition and Human Physiology Laboratory
- Metabolic research and assessment instrumentation
- Biodex system 3 for strength assessment,
- Body composition DEXA instrumentation.
