New journal article “Prediction of three-dimensional crutch walking patterns using a torque-driven model”

Míriam Febrer, Roger Pallarès and Josep Maria Font, from the BIOMEC Lab, have published the paper “Prediction of three-dimensional crutch walking patterns using a torque-driven model” in the journal Multibody System Dynamics. This research has been carried out in collaboration with B.J. Fregly from the Rice Computational Biomechanics Lab (USA), within the framework of the HYBOR project and a Leonardo Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators. The article is available using the following link: https://rdcu.be/b5jeY Abstract Computational prediction of 3D crutch-assisted walking patterns is [...]

BIOMEC organizes the annual meeting of the Spanish Network in Biomechanics Research

On February 18th, the BIOMEC Lab organized a the annual meeting of the Spanish Network in Biomechanics Research. This network consists of 10 research groups in Biomechanics from all over Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza, Valencia, Sevilla, Badajoz, Castellón and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria). The meeting took place at the Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CREB) at the Barcelona School of Industrial Engineering (ETSEIB). Each research lab presented its lines of work with the aim to create synergies for future collaborations among the groups of [...]

Duchenne Parent Project Spain supports the MOVit Game project coordinated by the BIOMEC Lab

Duchenne Parent Project Spain has funded the MOVit Game project led by Joan Lobo, Josep Maria Font and Daniela Tost from the Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering (CREB) of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), and in collaboration with the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu and the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (CSIC-UPC). The project aims to develop an interactive gaming platform to promote the physical activity of people with Duchenne using the MOVit wheelchair. This wheelchair has as a differentiating fact that the direction [...]
