Experimental Biomechanics Group

Our work covers several critical aspects of this field. We delve into the mechanical behavior of soft tissues, particularly skeletal muscles, to understand how they function under various conditions. We explore musculoskeletal biomechanics, investigating how the interplay between muscles, joints, and bones contributes to movement and stability. Our research also extends to orthopedics biomechanics, where we examine the biomechanical aspects of orthopedic conditions and surgeries to enhance treatment outcomes. Understanding how the nervous system controls movement, especially in the context of neuromuscular disorders, is another key area of our focus, as we aim to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our research also addresses aging and muscle weakness biomechanics, emphasizing how these factors alter muscle performance over time. We employ advanced techniques, including direct muscle force measurements, biomechanical and musculoskeletal modeling, ultrasound elastography, electromyography, magnetic resonance imaging, intramuscular pressure measurements, and animal experiments. Through our work, we aim to bridge the gap between scientific research and clinical application, contributing to the development of more effective exercise programs and rehabilitation strategies.
