Wearable technologies to assist gait biomechanical analysis in daily living

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This is an Engineering focused project with research stretching across biomechanical and clinical research fields. The candidate should have strong engineering background with a first degree in e.g., mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biomechanical engineering, computer sciences and/or related subjects. Experience and/or interest in programming, machine learning/AI is desirable.This project will integrate a wealth of highly relevant expertise to provide a multidisciplinary training opportunity for a graduate in the context of prosthetics and orthotic applications, helping to address the demands from P&O industries and academic research.Building upon existing wearable technologies, this project aims to develop a first of its kind system which can be worn directly by patients within the everyday home settings to provide real world motion and kinetic gait characteristics.
