- This paper, through the use of a rigorous and novel combination of techniques, reports for the first time that the ACL is subjected to multidirectional loading causing higher than expected failure mechanisms, forming a major influence on research into failure of loaded biological structures. This is highly significant with the increasing aged worldwide population, and the need for therapies to combat after-effects of Covid-19. This work led to a KTP project with Shapemaster Global Ltd, developing power-assisted exercise equipment to enable those living with long-term conditions improved options to increase physical activity, rehabilitation and quality of life.
