Improving patient outcomes through evidence-based evolution.
SHOULDER
Cadaveric Shoulder Simulator
The centrepiece of our program is the development of a state-of-the-art cadaveric shoulder simulator, purposefully engineered to replicate the complex biomechanics and functionality of the human shoulder joint.
COMPUTATIONAL BIOMECHANICS
Computational Modelling
Two computational models are part of the MQ TOR Lab's computational modeling project, which is currently focused on the shoulder. Using our advanced in-vitro shoulder simulator data, computational models are being developed and validated.
HAND & FINGER
Cadaveric Finger Simulator
The MQ TOR Lab cadaveric finger simulator is an in-vitro motion simulator with closed-loop tendon load control and simultaneous tendon excursion control.
KNEE
Cadaveric Knee Simulator
The development of an advanced cadaveric knee simulator is one of our newest research projects and is a collaboration between the MQ TOR Lab, University of Western Ontario, University of Munich and Aesculap, the research arm of B. Braun.
TECHNOLOGY
In House 3D Printing
We have our own 3D printers stationed within our lab, giving us 24/7 access to this technology. All 3D printed parts required for cadaveric simulations are printed in house.
