A research facility in the Simon Fraser University’s Gerontology Research Centre <strong>and</strong> the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Technology<br />

Centre. It evaluates <strong>and</strong> assists in the design <strong>and</strong> operational risk for medical <strong>and</strong> biomechanical devices. It evaluates orthotics,<br />

biomechanical risk, mobility-impairment.<br />

The Lab conducts research <strong>and</strong> training activities that aim to improve the relationship between people <strong>and</strong> their living <strong>and</strong> working<br />

environments. The scope of research extends from gerontology to engineering, <strong>and</strong> from field studies to laboratory simulation to medical<br />

<strong>and</strong> assistive device development.<br />
