Clinical Biomechanics Research Unit Research Group

Description

The UBIC research group is registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV) under the authority of the Office of the Vice-Principal for Research and Science Policy, regulated in the 1st Chapter of the ACGUV48/2013 Regulation. UBIC works in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of pathologies, both musculoskeletal and neurological. Furthermore, it also proposes actions in the preventive sphere, both in healthy people, to avoid the subsequent development of pathologies, to carry out secondary prevention and avoid possible comorbidities. The research group has experience in biomechanical analysis, from a clinical point of view, having carried out several studies on physical qualities in healthy and pathological populations. Some examples of studies carried out by the group include the evaluation of balance in different pathological populations and the development of balance intervention programmes. In addition, the UBIC has worked on several projects focused on the analysis of joint mobility and human gait using different tools ranging from photogrammetry to different clinical tests that assess the movement quality. Apart from biomechanics, the group also has experience in physiological assessment, in aspects such as the analysis of energy expenditure, the evaluation of muscle activation in patients with pain or heart rate variability with Autonomic Nervous System dysfunctions. Currently, following the physiological assessment, in populations with chronic pain, work is being carried out on the analysis of plasma biomarkers of pain.

All these methods of analysis are the basis for the definition of subsequent physical interventions to address the ailments of the above populations, as well as for the measurement of the effect of the different interventions developed.

Goals CT

To analyse the main biomechanical alterations and dysfunctions in problems of musculoskeletal and/or neurological origin.
To design and develop tools for the assessment of physical qualities and functional actions.
To plan therapeutic intervention programmes for the treatment of people with various pathologies.

Research lines

Clinical biomechanics in the clinical practise

This line focuses on the analysis of the physical conditions and human movement for the development of tools for the assessment and diagnose as well as for the design of interventions programs.
