We are pleased to announce that Tim Weber will present parts of his work on the International Society of Biomechanics Conference (http://isbglasgow.com/ ) in Glasgow this year as an oral presentation. The work is entitled ”Biomechanics of computer-assisted vs. conventional THR after one year Follow-Up”. The talk will be on the 16^th July in the Surgical Techniques Abstract Session at 13.00 as the 5^th talk. Swing by and listen, the guys from the lab will also be there. If you want to meet up and exchange ideas, just contact us. We are looking forwards to see you in Glasgow!

Tim Weber will give a free webcast on parts of his great work on modelling hip prosthesis biomechanics in a few days. More info can be found here.

Tomorrow we will be host of the AnyBody days 2014 in Regensburg. Over 30 people from over 11 countries have signed in to be part of this three days event. We are looking forward to meet old and new friends.

The LBM has signed an agreement with AnyBody Technology (DK) to establish an AnyBody Knowledge Center in Regensburg. The long existing relationship between our lab and the AnyBody people will be lift to a new level with this agreement. We will work closer together in the development of novel human body models and will try to push musculoskeletal simulation  further on its way to one of game changer technologies in orthopedics and ergonomics. Thanks to our friends in Aalborg we will be provided with state-of-the-art technology for our work. Next to us only two centers are appointed worldwide with John Rasmussen’s group in Aalborg (the origin of AnyBody) and the Colorado School of Mines, CO, USA.  We are confident that our research and educational efforts will benefit from this and we are keen on doing some serious modeling.

One of our partnern, PDB – Partnership for Dummy Technology and Biomechanics is looking for a student to work on FEA. More info can be found here: 2014_PDB_Internship_Position. Please contact us or PDB directly.

Johannes Schütz will present his work on a novel FEM model of the head on Friday, 12.09. at 12:00 in the RCBE.

We are looking forward to welcome researchers from all over the world for a three days seminar on musculoskeletal modeling with the AnyBody Modeling System end of Sept. A preliminary program can be found here.

Together with our research partners we have suceeded to get grants for a µCT from the DFG! This will help us to strengthen our research on bone mechanics and material sciences. More info will follow.

Parts of Michael Putzers work have been presented at the World Congress of Biomechanics in Boston, MA this week. The poster is entiteled: T”he Influence of Vertebral Body Geometry on Lumbar Spine Loading.” and can be found here: WCB2014_Poster_final

Tim Weber who is currently on its way towards his Phd in our lab has succeeded in publishing parts of his work in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research. The paper is titeled: “The influence of minimally-invasive total hip replacement on hip reaction forces and their orientations”. Congrats Tim, great job!
