About

Thomas O'Brien is a Professor of Musculoskeletal Biomechanics at Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. His research focuses on the biomechanics related to falls, particularly in children with cerebral palsy, as well as the dynamics of movement during various activities. Recent articles include studies on stair-fall risk parameters, head stability in children, and personalisation of muscle-tendon models for better understanding of fall risks.
