Fetal Movement Matters

When a baby doesn't move in the womb the right way, or at the right time, that can have implications for multiple aspects of their health. The Developmental Biomechanics Group is exploring how fetal movements affects formation and development of the bones and joints, and how fetal movements are indicative of the health and development of the unborn baby. If you are interested in learning more, please check out our Research page, our Publications, and follow us on Twitter


We are in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London. Our research is part of the Biomechanics theme.
