Current Research
Thermal Imaging studies: We have just been completing some studies on thermal imaging of the Achilles tendon pre and post 5K runs. George one of our students took the lead with this and his results look quite exciting.
Ultrasound Tissue characterisation (UTC) : We have continued to produce some exciting new work using UTC. These studies have assessed structure in Healthy people, those with a neurological event, various different sports and also after sporting events – 10k, ironMan, professional games of football and rugby.
Fysiometer: We have completed several exciting studies using Fysiometer which is a really useful tool for quantifying strength deficits in the clinic. Some of these developments are hush hush for now.
