TU Wien - Institute for Construction Science and Technical Logistics

The Machine Elements and Rehabilitation Technology research area deals with biomechanical questions in the area of rehabilitation, among other things.

In the 'Multifunctional Dynamometer for Application in Space' (MDS) project, a multifunctional training device was developed to counteract the effects of muscle and bone atrophy as it occurs under micro-gravitation conditions.

• Muscle and bone preservation in zero gravity

Laboratories with equipment for movement analysis (videometry, dynamometer, EMG) and functional electro-stimulation. The device developed at the institute, which is intended to be used as a training and diagnostics device in zero gravity, can also be used as a terrestrial test unit.
