Correlative joint definition for motion analysis and animation

In this paper we address the problem of creating accurate joint models from real motions while allowing scalability. We propose an automatic method to model, scale, and simulate non-idealized joints from the external motion of markers. We demonstrate the m ...

Symbios SPS-standard and custom stem micromotion comparison by micro- CT imaging

Vu Thanh-Hieu Nguyen

The aim of this study is to compare the difference in µ-motion between a custom stem implant and a sps standard stem and assess the importance of patient specificity. A surgeon would implant 3 sps-standar stems and 3 custom stems in 6 cadaveric femurs. The ...

Ambulatory Assessment of Foot Kinematics and Kinetics

Hossein Rouhani

Two surgical treatments exist for ankle osteoarthritis (AO): ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR). Due to advantages and drawbacks of each treatment, decision making about these treatments is still a clinical question and thus, their ou ...

Collapsin response médiator protein 4a(CRMP 4a) is upregulated in motoneurons of mutant SOD1 mice and can trigger motoneuron death

Patrick Aebischer, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

Embryonic motoneurons from mutant SOD1 (mSOD1) mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but not wild-type motoneurons, can be triggered to die by exposure to nitric oxide (NO), leading to activation of a motoneuron-specific signaling pathway do ...

Postural adjustment in experimental leg length difference evaluated by means of thermal infrared imaging

Silvio Ionta

Limb length discrepancy (LLD) is defined as a condition in which limbs are unequal. The asymmetric load of body segments secondary to LLD may cause a tonic contraction of back and lower limb muscles, thus resulting in subtle cutaneous temperature variation ...

Pulse generator for trauma patient simulator

Madge Audrey Marie Martin

Developing a Trauma Patient Simulator is a very ambitious project that goes far beyond what can be expected for a master thesis. Therefore, it has been decided to focus on blood circulation which is one of the three vital functions described in the first a ...

3D strain map of axially loaded mouse tibia: a numerical analysis validated by experimental measurements

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann, Francesco Merlini, Vincent Forster, Jean Hocké, Jensen Verhelle

A combined experimental/numerical study was performed to calculate the 3D octahedral shear strain map in a mouse tibia loaded axially. This study is motivated by the fact that the bone remodelling analysis, in this in vivo mouse model should be performed a ...

3D strain map of axially loaded mouse tibia: a numerical analysis validated by experimental measurements

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann, Francesco Merlini, Vincent Forster, Jean Hocké

A combined experimental/numerical study was performed to calculate the zone of highest strain in a rat tibia loaded axially. This study is motivated by the fact that the bone remodeling analysis in this in vivo rat model should be performed at the zone of ...

Characterization of EMG Patterns From Proximal Arm Muscles During Object- and Orientation-Specific Grasps

Silvestro Micera

Reach-to-grasp tasks are composed of several actions that are more and more considered as simultaneously controlled by the central nervous system in a feedforward manner (at least for well-known activities). If this hypothesis is correct, during prehension ...

Fast collision detection methods for joint surfaces

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Ehsan Arbabi

In the recent years medical diagnosis and surgery planning often require the precise evaluation of joint movements. This has led to exploit reconstructed three-dimensional models of the joint tissues obtained from CT or MR Images (for bones, cartilages, et ...
