REVOLUTIONIZING KNEE RESEARCH METHODS: Force-Motion-Simulation
Workshop sponsored by AMTI, Watertown, MA.
Tuesday July 8th from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.
A lunch box will be provided.
Workshop Objective
Review the latest innovations in knee measurements and simulation. The faculty will discuss the state-of-the art in in vivo kinematics and inverse dynamics approaches, the applications of in-vivo knee load measurements, and clinically relevant testing to assess the performance of knee implants.
Agenda
Dr Markus Wimmer (Rush University, Chicago) - Studies of human activity and locomotion and its use for pre-clinical testing and implant design. (15 minutes talk, 5 minutes discussion).
Dr Darryl DLima (Scripps Clinic, San Diego) - Review of in vivo forces measured using instrumented knee components and relevance to knee implants design and testing. (15 minutes talk, 5 minutes discussion).
Dr Hani Haider (University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha) - How the above research helps mechanical simulations and testing of implants to be more physiologically realistic and meaningful. (15 minutes talk, 5 minutes discussion).
Round table discussion - Future directions of implant testing and concluding remarks. (Wimmer, D’Lima, Haider, Asseman, White).
