BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR
Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disorders represent the second cause of disability, and a huge human and socio-economic burden. While mechanical modeling is daily used in a wide range of field, biomechanical models for implant design and for clinical routine still raise various challenges: How to get subject specific geometry, material properties and loads, from cost efficient clinically available data? How to deal with complexity and develop reasonably simplified models with a compromise between numerical cost and clinical relevance? How to validate the models? Recent advances allow drastic progress to face such issues, and approaches will be presented, together with examples, particularly regarding spine biomechanics and bone fragility.
Bio:
Professor Wafa SKALLI is a Mechanical Engineer (1980) and a PhD in Biomechanics (1983) from Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM). She is founder and scientific director of the Institut de Biomécanique Humaine Georges Charpak, and holder of the BiomecAM ParisTech chair on subject specific musculoskeletal modeling. She is particularly involved in biomechanics and modelling of the musculoskeletal system, with a strong link to experimental and clinical approach. She is co-inventor of the innovative EOS low dose biplanar XRay system, and has been named as a free member (non-surgeon) of the National Academy of Surgery in France.
