Femoral microarchitecture, strength and locomotion in adult people

本项目旨在揭示人类股骨微结构的承载能力。该项目将利用微型计算机断层扫描图像、运动数据、超级计算技术和多元统计，量化成年人在正常和意外运动任务中的几何、微结构、应变和力量之间的关系。这将有助于设计新的植入性设备，加强运动疗法和诊断技术，以提高髋关节力量。该项目将为生物组织工程和高强度、轻质生物灵感材料的开发做出贡献。

This project aims at unravelling the load bearing capacity of human femora microarchitecture. The project will quantify the relationship between geometry, microarchitecture, strain and strength in adult people during normal and accidental motor tasks using micro-computed-tomography images, motion data, supercomputing technology and multivariate statistic. It will benefit the design of novel implantable devices, enhance exercise therapies and diagnostic techniques for promoting hip strength. The project will contribute to the engineering of biological tissue and the development of high-strength and light-weight bio-inspired materials.
