  • Research summary

    Cadaver study using lower limbs to investigate lower limb biomechanics and validate alternative biomechanical investigation methods. Currently, following a joint replacement procedure, patients can continue to have disabling pain, abnormal motion, or loosening of the replacement. We will measure forces and motion experienced by tissue following joint replacement procedures with an aim to determine if there is an underlying mechanical problem. A secondary aim is to investigate how accurate different measurement techniques are.
