Peripheral Quantitative Skeletal Tomography - Research Lab #90

Type: Construction / Status: Execution

Canadian adults are living longer with 15% of the population ≥65 years and the number is expected to double by 2050. The prevalence of bone fragility (osteoporosis, fracture) is dramatically rising, with the highest estimates in older adults.

The research activities proposed by the candidate will help understand the determinants of bone fragility in a population at risk (e.g. endurance athletes, elderly) and identify the benefits of physical intervention on musculoskeletal health in this population. The use of peripheral quantitative skeletal tomography (pQCT) will enable the candidate to accurately measure bone strength, as well as a number of other bone characteristics (bone mineral density, cortical thickness, stress and strain index, etc.).

Project Description:

As per the pre-study the work is limited to modification of a lock, installation of shelving, installation of occupied sign indicating when equipment is in use and some new outlets.
