Motor Function Measurement Lab

The Motor Function Measurement (MFM) lab is run through the University of Ottawa department of Rehabilitation Science in the Faculty of Health Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Linda McLean. She and her team are interested in investigating women’s health issues associated with the pelvic floor such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and motor dysfunction associated with pregnancy and delivery. Specifically, their research focuses on the biomechanical and neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for these health issues. Measurement of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular function as well as development of predictive models of successful rehabilitation outcomes through the use of electromyography and ultrasound imaging are research areas of interest.
