Research
Our primary research revolves around advancing arthroplasty surgery, a commonly used treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis. We emphasize integrating cutting-edge technology, such as biomechanics tools and advanced imaging, into clinical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes. Our current focus involves transitioning laboratory-based biomechanics protocols into clinical environments, promoting efficiency, collaboration, and the immediate application of results in joint replacement procedures.
Arthroplasty innovation
Integrating cutting-edge technology to advance advancing arthroplasty surgery, a commonly used treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis
Gait biomechanics and modeling
Advancing scientific understanding of movement dynamics through computational and biomechanics modelling techniques.
Osteoarthritis progression
Providing unique insight into the dimensionality and deviations in biomechanics outcomes through the lifespan of osteoarthritis.
Other clinical biomechanics applications.
We also actively explore other clinical applications leveraging the biomechanics and data modelling tools that we’ve used to understand osteoarthritis and arthroplasty outcomes. This includes research into the biomechanics and clinical considerations of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and surgical recovery, spinal stenosis progression and surgical treatment, shoulder biomechanics recovery from innovative surgical approaches, technology and modeling of mobility considerations with aging, and innovative musculoskeletal modeling for optimizing limb salvage surgery for sarcoma.
