MICHAEL J. FASSBIND, M.S.M.E.

Education

University of Washington, B.S. Mechanical Engineering 2003.
University of Washington, M.S. Mechanical Engineering 2005.

Research Interests

Working with medical imaging data (CT and MRI) along with software to extract information about:

• Foot structures
• Bone to bone motion with joint axes
• Foot type differences.

• Amputees residual limb heat transfer through various liner socket systems
• Mechanical stresses inside the foot

Presentations:

Northwest Biomechanics Symposium 2005: "Methodology for the Quantification Bone Motion Between Foot Types"

Northwest Biomechanics Symposium 2006: "Foot Bone Motion During Circumduction"
