3D GAIT Lab research

Deakin's 3D GAIT Lab boasts the most advanced motion analysis available. Using 3D motion capture and an instrumented treadmill, it captures images on two sides of the body simultaneously. It's also the only lab in Australia to partner with the developers of 3D GAIT, enabling access to the world's largest database of 3D biomechanical walking and running data.
