Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab
The human musculoskeletal system is a remarkable engineering system that enables voluntary movement with inherent ease in healthy individuals. Yet, its complexity makes it difficult to understand and treat orthopaedic pathologies, prevent injuries, and optimize human perfomance at large. We study musculoskeletal biomechanics using motion capture, medical imaging, and computational modeling. We rely on both traditional and emerging motion capture technologies, including wearable sensors and computer vision. Our ultimate goal is to integrate insights from our experimental and computational work in the development of effective rehabilitation and performance-optimization strategies aimed at restoring and preserving pain-free mobility throughout the lifespan.
