MUSCULOSKELETAL BIOMECHANICS AND IMAGING LABORATORY

The Musculoskeletal Biomechanics and Imaging Laboratory, directed by David Lipps PhD in the School of Kinesiology at the University of Michigan, studies the mechanisms behind soft tissue injury within the human body. Our approach combines developing technologies in the fields of robotics and ultrasound imaging to quantify mechanical changes to human joints and their underlying muscles, tendons, and ligaments. We are particularly interested in using biomechanics and imaging to improve the lives of cancer survivors!
