Instrumented Endoprosthesis and BIomechanical Models of the Shoulder (IEBiMS)

This project is an important part of a large interdepartmental research program at Delft University of Technology called DIPEX: Development of Improved endoProstheses for the upper EXtremities. The goal of the IEBiMS project is to measure joint reaction forces in the shoulder using an instrumented endoprosthesis and to link this to the Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model (DSEM). The Observer XT, a tool for the integration and synchronization of multimodal signals, will be used to integrate the physiological data generated by the instrumented shoulder implant (e.g., joint reaction forces, external forces, muscle activity) and the observational data of shoulder movement.
