(Tim Weber, OTH Regensburg, 29. September, 2014 )

In this Webcast Tim Weber from the Laboratory for Biomechanics at the OTH Regensburg will present a study that compares different surgical procedures and the biomechanical outcome after total hip replacements. We investigated the biomechanics of walking after THR using patient-specific musculoskeletal models of human gait. These models were facilitated to compare two surgical techniques for THR. We retrieved patient-specific musculoskeletal model using the AnyGait Model (AnyBodyModelingSystem, AMMRV 1.6). This study was conducted in cooperation of the Laboratory of Biomechanics, OTH Regensburg (Tim Weber, Sebastian Dendorfer), the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University Medical Center Regensburg (Tobias Renkawitz, Tim Weber, and Joachim Grifka), the University of Groningen (Bart Verkerke, Sjoerd Bulstra), The Netherlands and the University of Twente, the Netherlands (Bart Verkerke).
