DESCRIPTION:Dr. A. Terrier\, Laboratory of Biomechanical Orthopedics. EPFL
 .\nMusculoskeletal disorders are the most common causes of severe long-ter
 m pain\, physical disability\, and arthritis\, which limit everyday activi
 ties about 25% of the European population. The classical total joint repla
 cement is the gold standard to treat arthritis\, but new solutions using t
 issue bioengineering are currently investigated. Modeling the neuro-muscul
 oskeletal system can be useful to understand the occurrence of arthritis\,
  to optimize classical treatments\, and develop new ones. Based on a stron
 g collaboration with orthopedic surgeons (CHUV-DAL)\, we have developed se
 veral musculoskeletal models of the main human joints\, which we are now e
 xtending to add a controlled sensorimotor aspect\, in collaboration with t
 he Automatic Control Laboratory (EPFL-LA). This presentation will be an ov
 erview of the research is this field and our current work.
