The Ohio State University Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab
Welcome to The Ohio State Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab. Our goal is to provide a scientific basis for the treatment of human movement disorders. To reach this goal, we apply mechanical engineering principles to clinical problems to study musculoskeletal mechanics, design medical devices and procedures, and seek to optimize the functional outcome of clinical and surgical interventions.Thank you for taking the time to visit.
NMBL Celebrates its First Alumni

OSU NMBL is formed
The Ohio State Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab was officially formed in the spring of 2007 with 1 MS student, 3 BS/MS students, and 2 undergraduate student researchers. Our lab is located in the new Scott Laboratory, and we collaborate with clinicians in Orthopaedics, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation to address basic science and clinical problems.
