The SimVitro BioRobotics Testing System is an innovative tool that can perform a wide-range of biomechanical testing protocols that directly correspond to ‘real life’ movements, activities, and loads, including work, sport, and rehabilitation. This novel system further adds to our unique capabilities as a translational orthopaedic laboratory performing comprehensive musculoskeletal research in an orthopaedic hospital dedicated to ‘Discovering Better’ for our patients.
