Biomechanics; Human movement; Locomotion (Muscle strain injuries; Osteoarthritis)

Biomechanics of normal and pathological human locomotion: - Effect of pain and/or pathology on gait biomechanics eg knee joint osteoarthritis - Biomechanics of running - Biomechanical predictors of running injuries - Biomechanical effects of modifications to foot-ground interface eg. effect of surfaces of differing mechanical characteristics, effect of shoes, effect of foot insert/orthotic interventions - Biomechanical determinants of cerebral palsy gait

Quantitative gait analysis: - Implementation of anatomical information for customized musculoskeletal models - Measurement variability - Data interpretation and clinical usefulness
