駱耀璋 Yao-Chang Lo
Yao-Chang Lo is a PhD student in the OEMI Laboratory at National Taiwan University (NTU) and an attending orthpedic surgeon at National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch in New Taipei city. He received his M.D. from NTU and later joined the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at NTU to pursue interdisciplinary research that integrates clinical orthopedics with quantitative movement science.
His research focuses on human motion analysis, including inter-segmental coordination, upper body balance control, lower limb end-point control, and biomechanics. He is particularly interested in individuals with shoulder pathologies. His current doctoral work examines the effects of shoulder immobilization and heavy lifting on human kinetics and kinematics during level walking and obstacle crossing, with the aim of understanding joint-level motor strategies and digging potential fall risk associated with shoulder immobilization. He also participates in research on three-dimensional bone pose tracking using interleaved biplane fluoroscopy system for patients receiving reverse shoulder arthroplasty.
His clinical practice focuses on managements of degenerative knee, hip and shoulder joints, sports medicine–related injuries, general orthopedic care, osteoporosis treatment, and minimally invasive fracture surgery. He is a board-certified osteoporosis specialist and hand surgeon. He is an active member of Taiwan Shoulder and Elbow Society, Taiwan arthroscopy and knee society, Taiwan Society for Surgery of the Hand, and Sports Medicine association R.O.C.
