Dr. Hiroaki Hobara is an Associate Professor at the Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo, Japan. His research specializes in biomechanics, with a particular focus on locomotion in individuals with lower-limb amputation. He investigates prosthetic limb function, running-specific prostheses, and the biomechanical mechanisms underlying movement performance.Through integrated experimental and computational modeling approaches, his research seeks to advance the scientific understanding of locomotor biomechanics in individuals with lower-limb amputation, thereby promoting improved mobility, stability, and safety, and contributing to the broader development of rehabilitation and sports science.
