Summary
This course presents today research questions and methods associated to the musculoskeletal system, its pathologies, and treatment.
Content
The course is divided in 5 modules given in the format of lectures, plus half a day in the university hospital of Lausanne (CHUV) to (optionally) attend a surgery. The first module includes theoretical background on biomechanics of musculoskeletal system, numerical methods, and the analysis of movement. The next three modules are related to a specific joint. The last module is devoted to tissue engineering. Lectures from both engineering and medical points of view will be presented.
1. General concept of musculoskeletal system biomechanics and locomotion.
1.1 Introduction to biomechanics
1.2 General numerical concepts
1.3 Kinematics and locomotion evaluation
2. Hip and knee
2.1 Clinical aspects
2.2 Patient-specific model
2.3 Bone remodeling
2.4 3D gait analysis using kinematics and spatio-temporal parameters
3. Shoulder
3.1 Clinical aspects
3.2 CT & MRI, FE modeling
3.3 3D functional evaluation with functional test and long-term monitoring
4. Tissue engineering
4.1 Biomechanics in tissue engineering
4.2 Bone and cartilage tissue engineering
4.3 Biomechanics in tissue engineering
5. Ankle
5.1 Clinical aspects
5.2 Experimental and numerical models
5.3 3D gait analysis with ground reaction force and inverse dynamics
6. Attend a total joint replacement surgery (optional)
7. Project presentations
Note
This course is limited to 12 participants.
Lecturers (EPFL): Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier
Lecturers (CHUV): Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin, Julien Favre, Patrick Goetti, Alexander Antoniadis
Assessment methods
In parallel to lectures and hands-on lab, the students will acquire this knowledge by doing a mini-project. The project is approved in a midterm session, and is evaluated by an oral presentation at the end of the semester.
