Orthopaedics and Biomechanics
Our research group is comprised of engineers, scientists, consultants, nurses, mathematicians, psychologists, veterinarians and environmentalists. Their sole aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of humans and animals through science based interventions. We aim for Keele’s expertise in the area of Orthopaedics and Biomechanics in Medicine (human and veterinary) to be recognised as world class.
