Dr. Dunia Abdul Sahib Hashim, an associate professor in the Department of P&O Engineering, visited the Biomechanics Laboratories at the College of Biomedical Sciences, University of Al-Nahrain. This visit was conducted as part of fulfilling the requirements of the "bone implants" course, where specialized devices and equipment used in this field were examined.

During the visit, a variety of devices and equipment were explored, including the AMTI Force 5 hip spine simulator, which is used to assess the biomechanical performance of hip joints and the spine. Additionally, the Force plate and Ortho poo device, used for measuring forces affecting bone structures and joints, were examined.

The visit was distinguished by a comprehensive explanation provided by Dr. Basma Abdul Sahib, the laboratory manager, on how these devices and equipment are used in applied studies aimed at developing and improving bone implantation and industrial support design.
Dr. Dunia Abdul Sahib Hashim expressed her gratitude for the efforts made by the research team at the Biomechanics Laboratory, emphasizing the importance of these scientific visits in enhancing research collaboration and developing the technologies used in the field of p&O engineering.
