What this research studies
This research aims to create advanced, open-source software that will improve the analysis of skeletal movement, particularly in patients with musculoskeletal disorders like arthritis and osteoporosis. By utilizing various imaging techniques such as biplane videoradiography and computed tomography, the project will quantitatively measure how joints function and change due to aging or injury. The goal is to standardize the software used in laboratories to enhance collaboration and efficiency in studying skeletal kinematics.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals with musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis, osteoporosis, or those recovering from joint injuries.
Not a fit: Patients without musculoskeletal disorders or those who do not require imaging analysis of skeletal structures may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better diagnosis and treatment options for patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using imaging techniques for analyzing skeletal movement, but this approach aims to standardize and improve the existing methods.
