Professor Louis Cheung graduated with a PhD from the Department of Orthopaedics & Traumatology at CUHK in 2000 and joined the academic staff in 2005. He is currently a Professor and Director of the Musculoskeletal Research Laboratory in the Department of O&T at CUHK. Additionally, he serves as an Investigator at the Musculoskeletal Ageing Laboratory, Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences, CUHK. His research interests include fracture healing, osteoporotic fractures, sarcopenia, and mechanical stimulation. He also serves as a researcher at the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Research Institute (FITRI) and the CUHK Shenzhen Research Institute.

Professor Cheung’s research primarily focuses on understanding and improving osteoporotic fracture healing and sarcopenia, as well as the effects of mechanical stimulation on bone & muscle health. His work on low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) treatment has been particularly influential, demonstrating its potential to enhance fracture healing and mitigate the effects of sarcopenia. This innovative approach has been successfully translated into a non-invasive treatment aimed at improving musculoskeletal health, especially in the elderly population, and has been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), USA.
