Research Focus
Our research supports both teaching and clinical practice. We are interested in how the carpus is described, taught, and applied—and in ensuring that educational materials reflect current anatomical and biomechanical evidence.
Structural Anatomy
We draw on contemporary anatomical literature to clarify the morphology and relationships of the carpal bones, ligaments, and surrounding structures. This includes variation in ossification, articular geometry, and the role of soft tissues in stability. Findings are integrated into our resources and teaching so that learners work with accurate, up-to-date content.
Biomechanics
Understanding how the wrist moves and bears load is essential for interpreting pathology and planning rehabilitation. We focus on carpal kinematics and load transfer, and on how these concepts can be taught clearly without oversimplification. Our aim is to bridge basic science and clinical application.
Education
We are also interested in how anatomy is learned and retained. This includes the role of palpation, imaging, and clinical context in carpal anatomy education. We apply these insights to the design of workshops and materials so that learning is efficient and durable.
Outputs & Collaboration
Research outputs are shared through teaching, internal reports, and, where appropriate, publication. We welcome collaboration with anatomy and healthcare educators, as well as with institutions that share an interest in hand and wrist education.
