Description
Role
****Ringfenced to LJMU Undergraduate students in Sport and Exercise Science or be close to completion ****
The assessment of knee joint laxity following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction is an important factor in predicting patient outcomes. Arthrometers are widely used for this purpose, with newer robotic systems offering the potential for improved accuracy and reliability.
The School of Sport and Exercise Science has recently acquired a robotic arthrometer, and this project aims to evaluate its reliability in both uninjured individuals and individuals following ACL reconstruction, to better understand its practical application.
Duties and responsibilities
- Undertake training in the operation of the robotic arthrometer
- Support participant recruitment and scheduling for the study
- Assess knee joint laxity using the robotic arthrometer in line with study protocols
- Collect, organise, and analyse data, including performing descriptive statistical analysis
Skills and experience
Essential:
- A strong undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science, or currently in the final year and close to completion
- Experience in conducting biomechanical assessments
Desirable:
- Knowledge of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors and the role of joint laxity
- Previous experience working as a research assistant
