I am extremely honoured to have received the Clinical Biomechanics Award. Presenting yesterday was the perfect end to a fantastic @ISB_2021. I am thankful for everyone @lmbethz who made this work possible, but especially my co-authors including @p_m_schuetz and @w_r_taylor.

📢New Paper Alert 📢
My first PostDoc paper about combining innovative 4D CT imaging and musculoskeletal modelling to assess kinematics and kinetics of the hindfoot was just published in Gait & Posture.

@KinesKing @ISBiomechanics During this, subjects were lying in a supine position and a stance phase was imposed through a foot manipulator. Therefore this was a passive motion and things might look different if we use skin marker gait data as input to the model, which is the next step

My @ISBiomechanics poster is up :) If you want to know more about articular contact mechanics of the ankle and subtalar joint, come and talk to me during todays poster session or let me know during the day. #ISBJSB2023

@KinesKing @ISBiomechanics We have to study the underlying mechanism in more detail, but the rotations prescribed in the forward simulation (translations were allowed to solve) were acquired using 4DCT imaging.

[Barbara Postolka @BarbaraPostolka]

@KinesKing @ISBiomechanics With the plantar to dorsiflexion motion, pressure seems to be redistributed from the ankle to the subtalar joint.

[Barbara Postolka @BarbaraPostolka]

@KinesKing @ISBiomechanics Indeed, at the beginning of the simulated stance, contact pressure is evenly distributed between both joints, then peak ankle pressure at about peak plantar pressure and peak subtalar pressure at about peak dorsiflexion.

On my way to Japan to attend TGCS and ISB 2023. Looking forward to present my postdoc work about musculoskeletal modelling of the foot & ankle and connect with old and new colleagues from all around the world. @TGCS2023 @ISBiomechanics

Tibio-femoral kinematics are sensitive to the kinematic analysis approach used! More about the influence of contact estimates, functional axes, and anatomical axes on condylar translations in our latest open access paper https://t.co/pFR1he4Eqo
@p_m_schuetz @w_r_taylor @JBiomech

[Bill Taylor @w_r_taylor]

It's out! Our @esbiomech S.M.Perren award manuscript is now available describing the loads and kinematics that occur in the tibio-femoral joint during activities of daily living. #CAMSKnee @ESBiomech_2022

Looking forward to my @ISB_2021 presentation in the upcoming Clinical Biomechanics Session (OB1 @ 12pm), where I will present our comparison of tibio-femoral kinematics in natural and TKR subjects using our moving fluoroscope
