The Biomechanics program at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville is
seeking one PhD student in Biomechanics for Fall, 2009. Doctoral
students are funded through teaching and/or research assistantship
during their study at UT with tuition waiver and health insurance
benefit. Students with a thesis in their master degree program in
Biomechanics, biomedical engineering, or related fields with a strong
background in biomechanics equipment, computer programming, and/or
muscle modeling are encouraged to apply.
Current research interests in the lab include 1) loading to lower
extremity during dynamic movements; 2) lower extremity injuries,
mechanisms, prevention and rehabilitation; 3) biomechanics of medical
orthoses and footwear; 4) examination of gait mechanics following total
joint replacement; and 5) gait retraining using real-time feedback. The
Biomechanics Laboratory is housed in a facility of 3,000 square feet for
subject preparation, warmup, and testing, data processing and analysis,
and teaching in biomechanics. The lab is currently equipped with a
7-camera VICON system and a 6-camera VICON system, 2 AMTI force
platforms, an 8-channel Noraxon EMG system, an RSscan plantar pressure
mat and insole system, an F-Scan plantar pressure system, a treadmill,
among other equipment and various kinds of software (Visual3D, Matlab,
SIMM, and various customized programs).
