Accurate assessment of hip fracture risk is very important to prevent hip fracture and to monitor the effect of a treatment. A subject-specific QCT-based finite

Hip fractures are a devastating injury in the older adult population. They are almost exclusively sustained during a fall-related event, with lateral falls resu

The general objective of my thesis research was to characterize the stiffness and force distribution characteristics of the hip region during the impact phase o
