The BruBotics Rehabilitation Research Center (BRRC) is a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary Core Facility at VUB, strategically located near UZ Brussel on the Health Campus and incorporating the Brussels Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab (BNB, Etterbeek campus).
The BRRC Core Facility specializes in human movement analysis and technology-supported rehabilitation research, equipped with advanced biomechanical and physiological measurement devices. By integrating the complementary expertise and infrastructure of both campuses, the center offers cutting-edge technologies such as robotics (e.g. lower-limb exoskeletons), extended reality (VR/AR/XR), and advanced biomechanical (e.g. full body 3D motion analysis, US, EMG) measurement systems.
Our mission is to develop and validate innovative rehabilitation technologies for individuals with neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, as well as for those recovering from injuries or surgeries and for promoting healthy aging in older adults. We also provide access to expertise and state-of-the-art equipment for movement analysis in health, injury, and neurological conditions.
The BRRC Core Facility provides extended services for academic, medical, sport, and industry partners, including gait analyses, full-body motion analyses, as well as specialized expertise in the neuromechanics and anatomy of movement and movement disorders.
