传记

I am a biomechanical engineer with expertise in orthopedic biomechanics. I became interested in biomechanics as an undergraduate student, when I learned that engineers can help clinicians better understand the human body to improve outcomes for patients with disabilities.

研究兴趣

Dr. Kuxhaus's research in the broad field of orthopaedic biomechanics includes both ex-vivo models of orthopaedic trauma and repair, and measurements of upper extremity function during common and specialized activities of daily living. Past work has focused on the upper extremity with particular emphasis on the elbow and its joint stiffness. Other past projects included measurements and models of thumb force production capabilities in impaired and unimpaired individuals, 踝关节本体感觉的量化, and a comparison of the performance of two different hip implant designs. Her current research includes both experiments and theoretical models using the principles of solid mechanics to investigate orthopedics. A novel intramedullary nail has been designed in her laboratory. Vertebral ring apophysis fractures have been created using a cervine ex-vivo model, with the goal of preventing these debilitating injuries. Ongoing work also quantifies the material and microarchitectural properties of cancellous bone. Dr. Kuxhaus also studies the pedagogy of biomechanics within an active learning environment.
