Sites and Laboratories

Together with regional supporters, in particular SMEs from the IT, therapy, creative and craft sectors, as well as the Osnabrück Theater and supra-regional supporters, EMotionS links the areas of movement measurement, pain and emotion analysis. The aim is to create a network for the development of products and services in three areas of application:

Diagnostic and therapy tools and transfer of results to the group of physiotherapists who advise and treat musicians. Transfer of the findings to other patient groups with movement disorders. Transfer of the findings to other occupational groups with a high proportion of movement, for example craftspeople.

The new laboratory building in Lingen, which will open in 2023, is home to many specialist areas - including nursing science. The discipline stands for research into nursing care and counselling. By simulating specific nursing situations, (junior) researchers have the opportunity to practise their skills in the areas of patient care, communication, diagnosis and complex treatment procedures.

Since the winter semester 2013, Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences has a fully equipped Motion Lab in the Department of Physiotherapy of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences. Numerous modern measuring instruments make it possible to work on current scientific questions and integrate these practical insights into academic curriculum and research projects.

The NutritionLab of Nutritional Sciences combines practice-oriented basic research with the practice of nutritional intervention to optimise, maintain and restore human health. It uses methods from anthropometry, dietetics and the functional and biochemical-metabolic assessment of human health in diagnostics and treatment with nutritional interventions in a comprehensive approach that complements the basis of medical intervention. It currently comprises three core areas, the anthropometric-metabolic laboratory, digital software solutions and the omics approach.

The aim of ReflabPerform is to assess neuromusculoskeletal disorders using physiotherapeutic diagnostic methods in combination with biomechanical movement analyses. This is done using the example of playing related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in musicians, who represent a very vulnerable group in the development of these complaints. In order to achieve this goal, we work together with the musicians' consultation at the Institute for Applied Physiotherapy and Osteopathy (INAP/O) so that the findings are carried out by specialised physiotherapists for the performing arts.

The Skills Lab is an innovative teaching and learning centre for simulation-based learning and practical studies for prospective midwives at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences. The extensive technical and equipment facilities support the approximation of real professional situations in both clinical and non-clinical settings and make it possible to set up various scenarios with different levels of difficulty and practise these in preparation for real-life situations.
