Question 1

Personalised Biomechanics and Precision Technology for Treatment of Hip Osteoarthritis  | Griffith University

Accepted Answer


University:	Griffith University
Faculty:	Menzies Health Institute Queensland
Project Start Date:	31.10.2024
Application Deadline:	30.08.2024 (students interested in this or similar topics can contact the supervisor even after the deadline)
Supervisor Name:	Professor Laura Diamond, Email: l.diamond@griffith.edu.au
Location (City/Campus):	Gold Coast Campus
Project Description:	Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease in Australia, affecting 1 in 5 people. Approximately 60% of people with hip OA undergo joint replacement within 3 years of first presenting to a healthcare professional, which highlights the ineffectiveness of current non-surgical treatments. Many people with hip OA are unsatisfied with their current management options. This project will test the efficacy of a ‘smart’ therapeutic intervention for people with hip OA in a natural environment (i.e., home, gym, outdoors, clinic). This co-designed technology integrates cutting-edge neuromusculoskeletal models with advanced wearable technology and artificial intelligence to calculate hip loads in real-time. Outcomes will include efficacy of a personalised load-modification intervention for people with OA, characterisation of how people with hip OA load their hip in a natural environment, and identification of muscle forces that underpin hip loads during activities which drive symptom worsening and disease progression. The Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE) is situated within the Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Griffith University. The main research areas of GCORE are neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics and orthopaedics, with focus on the development and use of disruptive technologies to enable personalised management of chronic health conditions, as well as assess function and performance. We are looking for qualified and motivated individuals for PhD scholarship positions. The GCORE team is a large cross-disciplinary team comprised of engineers, clinicians, biomedical scientists, industrial designers, and exercise scientists. Our approach is to work collaboratively, but with a keen focus on research excellence.

Project Description:	Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease in Australia, affecting 1 in 5 people. Approximately 60% of people with hip OA undergo joint replacement within 3 years of first presenting to a healthcare professional, which highlights the ineffectiveness of current non-surgical treatments. Many people with hip OA are unsatisfied with their current management options. This project will test the efficacy of a ‘smart’ therapeutic intervention for people with hip OA in a natural environment (i.e., home, gym, outdoors, clinic). This co-designed technology integrates cutting-edge neuromusculoskeletal models with advanced wearable technology and artificial intelligence to calculate hip loads in real-time. Outcomes will include efficacy of a personalised load-modification intervention for people with OA, characterisation of how people with hip OA load their hip in a natural environment, and identification of muscle forces that underpin hip loads during activities which drive symptom worsening and disease progression. The Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE) is situated within the Menzies Health Institute Queensland at Griffith University. The main research areas of GCORE are neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics and orthopaedics, with focus on the development and use of disruptive technologies to enable personalised management of chronic health conditions, as well as assess function and performance. We are looking for qualified and motivated individuals for PhD scholarship positions. The GCORE team is a large cross-disciplinary team comprised of engineers, clinicians, biomedical scientists, industrial designers, and exercise scientists. Our approach is to work collaboratively, but with a keen focus on research excellence.

Project Description:	Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics (CQD) undertakes world-leading research in quantum science and technology. The Centre comprises more than 40 researchers—including theorists and experimentalists—with strong collaborations. Our cutting-edge research encompasses many areas, including quantum information processing, quantum foundations, ultrafast quantum processes, and quantum biophysics. The Centre hosts a node of the Australian Research Council’s Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology and is also home to the Australian Attosecond Science Facility, the only laboratory in Australia where atoms, molecules and materials can be probed on sub-femtosecond timescales. We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to work in quantum information theory. The primary focus of this role is to contribute to an externally funded project about photonic quantum state generation and quantum non-locality. This project includes analytic theory, coding, and simulations in quantum optics and quantum information. Success in this role requires collaboration with an immediate team consisting of Dr Travis Baker, Dr Nora Tischler, and Prof Howard Wiseman; further collaborations are also likely with an extended network of physicists in Australia and across the world. As part of this project, there will be opportunities to travel to conferences, and to undertake a research stay in the USA.
