A subject-specific software solution for the modeling and the visualization of muscles deformations

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Anders Sandholm, Xavier Maurice

Today, to create and to simulate a virtual anatomical version of a subject is useful in the decision process of surgical treatments. The muscular activity is one of the factors which can contribute to abnormal movements such as in spasticity or static cont ...

Gene-mediated Restoration of Normal Myofiber Elasticity in Dystrophic Muscles

Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Stefania Puttini, Damien Saugy

Dystrophin mediates a physical link between the cytoskeleton of muscle fibers and the extracellular matrix, and its absence leads to muscle degeneration and dystrophy. In this article, we show that the lack of dystrophin affects the elasticity of individua ...

Total shoulder arthroplasty: Downward inclination of the glenoid component to balance supraspinatus deficiency

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini

Hypothesis: Supraspinatus deficiency associated with total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) provokes eccentric loading and may induce loosening of the glenoid component. A downward inclination of the glenoid component has been proposed to balance supraspinatus ...

Human muscular fetal cells: a potential cell source for muscular therapies

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Myoblast transfer therapy has been extensively studied for a wide range of clinical applications, such as tissue engineering for muscular loss, cardiac surgery or Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy treatment. However, this approach has been hindered by numerous l ...

Improving user comfort in haptic virtual environments through gravity compensation

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Renaud Ott

Our experience with a Haptic Workstation™ has shown that this device is uncomfortable to use during long sessions. The main reason is the uncomfortable posture of the arms, which must be kept outstretched horizontally while supporting the weight of an exos ...

Lentivector-mediated transfer of Bmi-1 and telomerase in muscle satellite cells yields a duchenne myoblast cell line with long-term genotypic and phenotypic stability

Didier Trono

Conditionally immortalized human cells are valuable substrates for basic biologic studies, as well as for the production of specific proteins and for the creation of bioartificial organs. We previously demonstrated that the lentivector-mediated transductio ...

A biomechanical musculoskeletal model of human upper limb for dynamic simulation

Daniel Thalmann

We provide the biomechanical model of a human upper limb we have designed and applied to the three dimensional left human arm reconstructed from the Visible Human imaging Dataset. This model includes the mechanical properties for bones, joints and muscles ...

A dynamic wrinkle model in facial animation and skin ageing

Daniel Thalmann

The paper describes a dynamic model to simulate expressive wrinkles in 3D facial animation and skin ageing. A skin surface is defined that can slide over an underlying layer, which constrains the surface by a spring force that simulates the connective fat ...

A plastic-visco-elastic model for wrinkles in facial animation and skin aging

Daniel Thalmann

A model is described to simulate expressive wrinkles in 3D facial animation and skin aging. A plastic visco elastic skin surface is defined that can slide over an underlying layer. This layer constrains the skin surface by the spring force that simulates t ...

Real-Time Measurement of the Contribution of the Muscular- Activity to the Metabolic-Rate in Freely Moving Rats

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Robert

A new real-time ergometric system, ERGORAT, for measuring the energy expenditure due to muscular activity of small mammals is described. The method is based on measuring the vibrations induced by a freely moving rat to a platform on which it is living. Six ...
