Current Research Projects |
| Osteoarthritis Research Project |
| The goals of the BioMotion osteoarthritis (OA) group are to identify possible mechanisms of osteoarthritis disease development and progression, and to provide the scientific bases for the use of non-invasive preventive and rehabilitative treatment modalities for populations with a high risk for or presence of knee OA. |
| Anterior Cruciate Ligament Research Project |
| The BioMotion anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) group is working to understand the mechanisms of non-contact ACL injuries through experiments and computer models, as well as to understand the changes in gait due to ACL deficiency and ACL reconstruction. |
| Markerless Motion Capture Research Project |
| The goal of the BioMotion Markerless Motion Capture research project is to develop a system for accurately capturing human movement without the use of skin markers. |
| Osteoporosis Research Project |
| The overall goals of the Biomotion osteoporosis research project is to determine the most appropriate way to quantify walking in terms of its effects on the skeleton and to begin to develop specific guidelines to quantify the amount of walking that is necessary to maintain healthy levels of bone density at the hip in aging adults. |
