The NCSEM-EM hub is based in a state-of-the-art building, purpose-designed to facilitate the transfer of high quality research into frontline patient care. The building features a range of cutting-edge technology and specialist medical equipment including:

• Functional analysis rehabilitation laboratory – containing motion capture cameras, hi-speed video cameras, force plates and an electromyography system with display screens for feedback.
• Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) – an interactive system that can be used to treat and rehabilitate patients with, for example, back pain or posture and balance difficulties. It contains the latest technology for the registration, evaluation and training of functional human behaviour.
• Disability sport laboratory – used for testing and assessment of submaximal and maximal aerobic fitness, anaerobic fitness, lung function, body composition and biochemical analyses of the immune system.
• 3T MR imaging – enables high definition scans to be taken to diagnose conditions with a high level of accuracy.
• Musculoskeletal and cardiac ultrasound – enabling enhanced visualisation of subtle conditions with greater sensitivity aas well as aiding the assessment process to support early diagnosis.
