My Fulbright research will investigate how shoulder implant design interacts with musculoskeletal loading. While current models capture general joint mechanics, there is a gap in understanding patient-specific movement patterns. My work at the ARC Centre for Medical Implant Technologies aims to improve implant performance and guide future clinical decision-making.
Theresa Haupt is a Student Researcher in biomechanics, investigating how musculoskeletal loading and joint mechanics inform injury prevention and implant design.
Theresa’s Fulbright project focuses on shoulder implant performance, working within the ARC Centre for Medical Implant Technologies at the University of Melbourne. As a Fulbright Scholar, Theresa will study human movement and implant research to advance engineering approaches that improve clinical decision-making.
