Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Numerical modelling has become an essential tool in the biomechanics research field. Multi-segment rigid-body and FE models are being used extensively in the context of automotive safety. These models provide objective means to assess the behaviour and associated injury risk of a representative sample of the population in a given crash scenario. In a clinical context, similar objective biomechanical parameters are required; however, these parameters have to be patient-specific. In this context, there is a need for detailed models that could describe the morphology and behaviour of a given subject. At this stage, the scientific challenge is to design and integrate 3D, deformable muscle segments that are both robust and time-efficient in these models. The human neck is a complex structure, for which an optimal posture as well as the combined mobility and stability of the cervical spine are intrinsically related to one’s ability to mobilize his muscles harmoniously. Trauma, degenerative diseases, surgery or ageing will affect this balance, and may result in pain or in a loss or excess of mobility. In the global framework of designing detailed numerical models that allow exploring such musculo-skeletal interactions, the aim of the project is to develop a deformable, contractile numerical muscular neck model, by (1) creating a subject-specific geometry of the head/neck/upper torso complex and its musculature, (2) designing a relevant muscle activation model, and (3) building and validating an efficient and robust model for use in clinical and ergonomics/impact applications. This research will contribute to improve the current strategies of muscular model design. The design of a subject-specific model will create a framework to assist the clinician in his analysis and decision making within the problematics described above. In a broader sense it will allow exploring the influence of the neck’s muscular contribution in the normal, pathological or ageing subject.'
