Company Description
**About us**
The Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE) is situated within the Menzies Health Institute Queensland, Griffith University. The main research areas of GCORE are neuromusculoskeletal engineering and orthopaedics, with focus on the development and use of disruptive technologies to enable personalised management of chronic and acute 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 research leaders. Our approach is to work collaboratively, but with a keen focus on research excellence.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease in Australia, affecting 1 in 8 people, causing pain and dysfunction, diminishing quality of life, and imposing enormous socioeconomic burden. Many people with hip OA are unsatisfied with their current management options. This project will test the efficacy of a co-designed ‘smart’ therapeutic intervention for people with hip OA in the real-world. Its focus will include integrating cutting-edge neuromusculoskeletal models with advanced wearable technology and artificial intelligence to push technological boundaries and escape the laboratory for the first time to intervene on a known mechanism of disease.
