Funded PhD in Enhancing the Otago Exercise Programme to Preserve Bone Health in Women with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis University of Hull in United Kingdom

[Funding of fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focused on understanding the osteogenic potential of exercise using musculoskeletal and finite element modelling. This project addresses a major health challenge: osteoporosis and related fragility fractures. The research explores how different exercise interventions influence bone stress and how individual differences in bone size and shape affect estimated loading responses. By combini...

Measuring What Matters is a funded PhD project at the University of Portsmouth focused on improving the clinical assessment of individuals with limb difference. The research will bridge the gap between what matters to patients and what is measured in rehabilitation. It will integrate patient-centred, functional and biomechanical outcomes to support more meaningful evaluation of rehabilitation interventions and patient experience. The doctoral researcher will work at the intersection of biomechan...
