Morphology, motion, and mechanics of vertebral joints in fish

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

We depend on healthy joints to stay active, independent and productive. Disorders of the joints of our spine (intervertebral joints) are particularly disruptive, with back pain and disorders impacting millions of people. Read more

Do patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears demonstrate muscle strength deficits of the hip, knee, and ankle muscles?

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common with a median annual incidence of 0.03% per person overall and up to 3.7% in professional athletes (1). Read more

Control of bone shape and function by the extracellular matrix Fibrillin-1

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Bones are tightly regulated structures that remodel their structure to adapt to changes in their mechanical environment. With ageing, this mechanical response is often dampened, leading to bone loss and weakness. Read more

Investigating functional and kinematic alterations in upper limb motion following clavicular malunions in adults using 3-D kinematic analysis and functional tasks.

University of Dundee School of Medicine

Current evidence suggests displaced, mid-shaft clavicle fractures can be managed conservatively with satisfactory long-term functional outcomes, although critically other studies suggest 42% of people have residual sequalae; including deficit in shoulder strength and endurance. Read more

(University of Manchester - University of Tokyo Dual Award) Computational evolutionary biomechanics of bipedal/quadrupedal locomotion in early hominids

The University of Manchester Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

The transition to habitual upright walking is one of the defining features of the human (as opposed to the chimpanzee) lineage and understanding its evolution is therefore of extreme interest to palaeoanthropologists. Read more
