Emily Lalone and Assaf Kadar supervise a Western Engineering student research project investigating the mechanics of football injuries
November 22, 2024
This year, under the guidance of Emily Lalone, professor in the department of mechanical and materials engineering and School of Biomedical Engineering, Macleod embarked on an interdisciplinary research project to understand the mechanics of wrist injuries among football players. Football is a collision-heavy sport, and wrist injuries are common, but few studies have explored the underlying biomechanics. Macleod’s unique experience as an athlete and engineering student has allowed him to bridge theory and practice in ways that resonate deeply with his peers and future football players alike.Dr. Rochelle Furtado Wins Governor General's Gold Medal

"For bringing VR to the OR. You could say George Athwal has X-ray vision: for the past three years, Athwal, an orthopedic surgeon at St. Joseph’s Health Care in London, Ontario, has been pioneering some very futuristic 3D surgical technology. During shoulder replacements, Athwal dons a headset equipped with Stryker Blueprint MR Guidance software, which gives him a “mixed reality” view that superimposes the surgery plan on a patient’s body. This tech helps Athwal execute within two millimetres and two degrees of a preoperative plan, and extra widgets help him make adjustments on the fly. The system has only been used on shoulders so far—at the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. and two hospitals in France, in addition to St. Joseph’s—but, in the future, it could also be used for hip and knee replacements, as well as spinal surgery."Dr. Ruby Grewal Receives a Schulich Researcher/Scientist Academic Merit Award
