PhD student Steven Pretty has combined subject-specific impact inputs (measured from falls in the lab) with subject-specific beam models of the femur (from DXA) to generate (you guessed it) subject-specific estimates of femoral neck stresses. Check it out!

Impact simulations of falls from standing height investigated impact dynamics and fx risk. Lateral and posterior-lateral impacts were most dangerous, and hip protectors most effective for lateral and oblique impacts. @IBAL_Lab, @FergusonLabETH, @IFleps

[Canadian Society for Biomechanics @CSBiomech]

Know someone who has demonstrated high standards of academic development and commitment to the goals and long-range activities of the Society? Nominate them to become a CSB-SCB Scholar! Deadline is the 21st February 2022. https://t.co/xiAvjU5Fzh

[Canadian Society for Biomechanics @CSBiomech]

Don't miss the CSB-SCB Graduate New Investigator Awards for high quality biomechanics research submitted to NACOB 2022. One award each for the Masters and Doctoral levels. Deadline is 27th January 2022. Details at https://t.co/xiAvjTO4HJ

[Canadian Society for Biomechanics @CSBiomech]

CSB-SCB is looking for applicants to the David Winter Early Career Investigator Award. The recipient should have a history of participation in the Society's activities, reflecting the pride that late Prof. Winter had in CSB-SCB! Due 27th January 2022: https://t.co/xiAvjTO4HJ

[Andrew Laing @IBAL_Lab]

Congrats to our grad team for leading a J Applied Biomech @Human_Kinetics paper which used ultrasound to characterize soft tissue thickness overlying the greater trochanter, and modeled their influence on fall-related impact loads and hip fracture risk. https://t.co/QojHCLsapE.

On November 23, we will be holding a hybrid ask-me-anything session for students interested in research-based graduate programs. Students can attend in-person or virtually to chat with #UWaterlooKHS supervisors and current students. Learn more here: https://t.co/3q1zBMKRHO

[Andrew Laing @IBAL_Lab]

@ISPGR Thanks for the dap @ISPGR. Happy to provide more details to anyone.

[Andrew Laing @IBAL_Lab]

@l_giangregorio Thanks Lora! I may have lurked before 😀, but we now have an official account to highlight our lab efforts, and promote our colleagues, collaborators, and partners.
