The hidden heroes of hip movement: uncovering the deep hip rotators with Dr Laura Diamond

In this episode with Laura, we discuss her research on the role of the deep hip rotators during walking and functional tasks and how this can affect us clinically with our exercise prescription to patients with hip pain and/or hip osteoarthritis. We also discuss the different demands and loads of these small muscles during walking and their potential capabilities. 

Dr Laura Diamond is a Research Leader in Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE) and Associate Professor in the School of Health Sciences and Social Work at Griffith University, and holds an honorary Research Fellow position in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at The University of Queensland. She is a trained biomedical engineer (BEng, MASc, Dalhousie University, Canada) leading a research program focused on development and application of novel technologies to understand and treat the biomechanical mechanisms that underlie musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions.
