Scope, aims and objectives

Lower Limb musculoskeletal dynamics

In this research area, novel formulations of the indeterminate problem of solving the muscle sharing problem in lower limb musculoskeletal dynamics are addressed. Two key areas of focus include the development of coherent, unique lower limb anatomy datasets, and fidelic modelling of the knee.

Upper limb musculoskeletal dynamics

This research theme is in collaboration with the UK Shoulder Biomechanics Group in which novel methods of modelling the muscular activations and ligament loading during upper limb tasks are developed, tested, and applied.
