Teclinoiogy Core

技术核心的目标是提供知识、技能和技术， 了解生物力学，结构，功能和生理对平衡的影响 以及老龄化带来的行动不便。匹兹堡大学有许多备受推崇的，国家- 最先进的实验室和设施来支持这一目标。技术核心协调这些 为整个大学的老龄化研究工作建立了完善的设施。除了设施 在第一阶段的赞助奖，包括人体运动分析，神经成像， 前庭功能评估、力量测试和感觉统合能力评估， 在这次更新中，我们增加了新的资源，包括运动生理学，代谢测试， 在运动过程中对大脑和骨骼结构进行成像的新方法。

The goal of the Technology Core is to provide knowledge, skills and techniques that foster an understanding of the biomechanical, structural, functional and physiological influences on balance and mobility problems of aging. The University of Pittsburgh has numerous highly regarded, stateof- the-art laboratories and facilities that support this goal. The Technology Core coordinates these well-established facilities for aging research efforts across the University. In addition to the facilities sponsored in the first period of award, including human movement analysis, neuroimaging, vestibular function evaluations, strength testing, and assessment of sensory integration capabilities, in this renewal we have added new resources including exercise physiology, metabolic testing, and new methods for imaging the brain and skeletal structures during motion.
