Musculoskeletal health in children
Poor musculoskeletal health is one of the greatest health burdens in Tasmania and worldwide. It is often perceived that poor health is all about aging, but nothing is less true. Read more
Musculoskeletal loading from a minimal wearable sensor system during rehabilitation
Project details. “In the future… training and rehabilitation programmes will use wearable and simple imaging technologies to estimate tissue level biomechanics derived from personalised neuromusculoskeletal modelling in real-time in the real-world. Read more
Predicting musculoskeletal loading from video during rehabilitation
Project details. Background. Knowledge of tissue-specific loads on the muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments of the human musculoskeletal system has implications for the prescription and monitoring of exercises across clinical, sporting, and occupational rehabilitation. Read more

A computational modelling framework for understanding skeletal muscle adaptation
Musculoskeletal biomechanics is the analysis of how forces are transmitted through our bodies during locomotion. The main sources of force arise from locomotion that is driven by the skeletal muscles. Read more

How does knee joint and meniscal tissue shape affect joint biomechanics and treatment choice?
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
This PhD offers training in multiple biomechanical research techniques, for an important musculoskeletal challenge. Over 4.5 million people in the UK have knee arthritis. Read more
Optimal hip implant design with additively manufactured porous structures
Worldwide the increase in the geriatric population with musculoskeletal problems and the increase in the incidence of sports injuries and traffic accidents are contributing to the growth of knee, hip, or spine surgeries. Read more
Risk factors for Injury in Womens Rugby
Women’s rugby has seen unprecedented growth and participation with 2.7 million female players involved globally. Rugby is a dynamic, physical, high-intensity activity with repetitive collisions, sprinting and running. Read more
Long term athlete development (LTAD) - Physiological profiling in athletic youth populations: a longitudinal study investigating gender considerations across stages of maturation and injury risk.
Increased investment in talent ID programmes to identify talented young athletes as early as possible (Koopmann et al., 2020) has promoted increased sports specialization at younger ages (Bell et al., 2016), with consequences being increased risk of psychological burn-out and musculoskeletal injury (DiFiori et al., 2014).

Predictors of surgical outcomes in knee osteoarthritis
Research Group:
Nursing and Health
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a common type of arthritis in Northern Ireland. A debilitating condition, sufferers report locking, grinding and instability of the knee, with severe difficulties in walking, standing, domestic and occupational activities. Read more
