Research Description
In collaboration with , we are developing multibody dynamic models and optimal controllers to predict human movement biomechanics before and after orthopaedic surgery, specifically hip and knee joint replacements. Our primary objective is to inform orthopaedic surgeons of optimal hip and knee implant positioning to minimize the risk of joint dislocation and discomfort.
