This unique study is of global importance to military and civilian casualties who have suffered serious physical trauma. The baseline measures on these 1200 men are being completed over the coming months and this provides a wealth of data on musculoskeletal health that the postholder will access and harness in order to provide answers to biomechanical and clinical musculoskeletal health questions. This exciting opportunity is for a musculoskeletal biomechanics researcher with an interest in making a real difference to those who have suffered some of the most severe musculoskeletal injuries imaginable, including amputations.
