Qualifications

Ph.D., University of Strathclyde, Bioengineering, 1999.
B.Eng., University of Nottingham, Mechanical Engineering, 1993.

Expertise and Research Interests

Dr. Chadwick's main areas of research are biomechanical modelling of the upper limb, human movement analysis and rehabilitation. He is currently interested in the causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction in stroke and its relationship to shoulder instability, the use of FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) in the treatment of shoulder pain and the restoration of arm function, and the mechanisms governing shoulder stability and control in general.

Other Expertise

Dr. Chadwick's previous research has focussed on the biomechanics of the upper limb, and included the following: modelling of the shoulder, elbow and wrist; computer-assisted surgical planning; shoulder arthroplasty; modelling of scapular fracture; function of the rotator cuff; tendon transfer in rotator cuff pathology; development of strain-gauged force transducers; biomechanics of knife stab attacks; development of a body tissue simulant for use in the testing of stab-resistant body armour; determination of specifications for the testing of stab-resistant body armour.
