Human Mobility Research Centre
At HMRC our focus is helping people live fuller, more mobile lives by pioneering the development of innovative and effective treatment strategies for bone and joint disorders caused by arthritis, osteoporosis, injury, and related problems. The Centre is a partnership between Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital (KGH) and serves as a point of collaboration between the disciplines of medicine, engineering, health sciences, and information technology.
HMRC provides shared research space and services for clinicians, orthopaedic surgeons, university faculty, students, and industry. We are located in KGH and have specialized labs for connective tissue, bio-simulation, tissue processing, prosthesis design, software development, and gait analysis, as well as one of the world’s first computer-enhanced surgical suites.
The goal of the HMRC is to help people lead more active lives through the research and subsequent development of new treatments for arthritis, osteoporosis, injury and related problems. Our patient-centered approach to research is trans-disciplinary, integrating mechanical design, biological approaches, information technologies and rehabilitation therapies.
