MSc Thesis

The Use of Shear Wave Elastography to Estimate the Mechanical Properties of the Soft Tissues Surrounding the Proximal Femur

Research Interests

My main research interest is focused on impact injury biomechanics. This includes: 

  • Understanding the underlying mechanics of impact-related bone fractures and fall-related head injuries  
  • Investigating the use of interventions, such as body padding and helmet, to prevent impact-related injuries  
  • Exploring properties of the soft tissues overlying the hip and bony pelvis that will improve mathematical and mechanical models of sideways falls onto the hip
