Research Program Fall-induced skeletal fractures
often occur in daily life and work places. According to Stats Canada, one in
three women and one in five men (age of 50 and over) will probably have a
skeletal fracture during their life. In Canada, the
annual cost of medical-care for skeletal fractures will increase to $2.4
billion by the year 2041. The long-term objective of my research program is to understand the complicated biomechanics
involved in fall-induced skeletal fractures, and ultimately to
effectively predict, prevent and protect against various skeletal fractures. Current Research Projects 1. Development of finite element
algorithms and image-based biomechanical models to deal with computational
challenges in biomechanical modeling of human-body injuries.
2. Brain injury analysis and
protection. 3. Development of biomechanical
tools to assess risk of hip fracture. 4. Study of tissue mechanical
properties by experiments. |
