Promobilia MoveAbility Lab is a physical research infrastructure for analysing human movement and working with state-of-the-art tools for biomechanical and physiological measurement.
The Promobilia MoveAbility Lab is a collaborative initiative between KTH and the Promobilia Foundation. By combining advanced measurement technologies with interdisciplinary research, we generate knowledge and innovations that support mobility, rehabilitation and independent living across the lifespan.
Decoding movement
At the Promobilia MoveAbility Lab, we aim to fundamentally understand, decode, and quantify the complex interplay of factors that influence movement in persons with and without motor disorders. We study this interplay with AI-based algorithms, and with simulations.

The news article on News 55 details how
new research involving sensors and technology can assist wheelchair users
, such as Paula following a tumor, in achieving a balanced muscle load in daily life. The study explores how wearable sensor data helps address physical strain and uneven exercise distribution for individuals using wheelchairs.
The Promobilia MoveAbility Lab is made possible through support from the Promobilia Foundation, which promotes research and innovation for an independent and active life for people with disabilities. The partnership builds further on Per Uddén's vision that technology should strengthen people's freedom, participation, and quality of life.
