La Reunion
Research centers or research group
The research team works on 2 major topics :
Areas of expertise
BIOSYNCHRO : Development of an embedded sensor to improve
empowerment and care through physical activity for cancer patients
Funding : Internal call for proposals from the University of Reunion Island
2017
DIABETIC : Estimation of energy expenditure using a smart sensor in type 2 diabetes patients
Funding : French Ministry of Health University of Reunion Island
2012 -2016
FVRR : Reinforced Shark Observation Training
Funding : DJSCS CRA
2017
APACCHE : Adapted physical activity and cardiac coherence in patients with malignant hematology
Funding : Internal call for proposals from the Reunion University Hospital
DJSCS Reunion Regional Council
2017 – 2019
POSTURAL BALANCE, AGEING AND THE RISK OF FALLING : Design of
innovative methods and approaches to assess and prevent elderly people at risk of falling
Funding : University of Reunion Island, Reunion Regional Council (ARR)
Since 2017
SOCIETY OF BIOMECHANICS / NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
Academic society aiming to promote research in the field of
biomechanics. Cooperation between researchers and sharing
knowledge more widely. Several members of the team are
also members of this society.
IBTN (INTERNATIONAL BEHAVIORAL TRIALS NETWORKS) /NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
International researcher network to improve the quality of
clinical trials and behavioural intervention :
• Help improve behavioural trials on an international scale
• Set up a network to boost the ability to undertake higherquality trials
• Develop a list of recommendations, tools and methodological
articles on behavioural trials and the development of non medical interventions
Technical support centre (165m2) for analysing movement and posture, and equipped on a permanent basis with 3 reaction force platforms synchronised with an optronic movementdetection system (12 cameras).
This technical support centre has additional devices to assess motor and muscular functions :
1 portable electromyography system,12 inertial measurement units, 2 equipped ergocycles, 1 leg-extensor ergometer, 1 myoton Pro, Actigraphs, 1 Opto Jump system.
ERASMUS agreement with : University of Lausanne (Switzerland)
Reunion University Hospital Laboratory of Simulation and
Movement Modelling (Canada) LAAS (Toulouse) etc.
