Our core areas of activity
Stair negotiation
Research focuses on how people move on stairs to understand fall risk and develop effective strategies for safer stair use.
Musculo-skeletal development and function
This area explores how the musculoskeletal system develops and functions in children, with a focus on improving mobility and independence in those with physical disabilities.

Markerless motion capture
This research develops and applies markerless motion capture technologies to measure human movement accurately and extend biomechanical analysis beyond the laboratory.
Virtual rehabilitation
Research here uses virtual reality and interactive technologies to support the rehabilitation of movement and function in clinical populations.
Clinical gait analysis in alkaptonuria
This work involves specialist gait analysis to understand disease progression and support treatment in people with alkaptonuria.
Footwear biomechanics
Research in this area explores how footwear influences movement and loading to improve performance, comfort and injury prevention.
Injuries and rehabilitation
This area investigates the biomechanical mechanisms of injury and recovery to inform prevention strategies and rehabilitation practices.
Innovative research methods in biomechanics
This work focuses on developing advanced analytical and computational methods to improve how complex biomechanical data are measured, analysed and interpreted.
