Birmingham Biomechanics Laboratory

We are working on advanced measurement techniques that use wearable sensors and smartphones to accurately track locomotion in real-world scenarios.

Using patients' medical images measured in the field, we investigate skeletal muscle adaptation due to disabilities and its interactions with the production of locomotion.

Our biomechanics model, using muscle-driven simulations, can predict the most effective interventions tailored to the patient’s unique needs in improving locomotion.

We use various numerical optimisation algorithms to predict optimal muscle coordination for enhancing performance in specific locomotion tasks.

Our study on biomechanical knee modelling won the Clinical Science Award, paving the way for improved clinical predictions of knee loading.

Our clinical study facilitates the implementation of digital rehabilitative interventions by translating evidence-based positive research findings from our laboratory into clinical practice.
