ANIMAL MODELING
1- Sheep musculoskeletal model for osteoporosis
Project Leader: António Veloso and Sandra Amado
Project purposes:
- To develop a sheep hindlimb musculoskeletal model for osteoporosis.
- To use treadmill walking as a viable approach to regulate muscle and joint contact forces for in-vivo osteoporosis model.
- To predict in-silico tibiofemoral contact forces for an in-vivo osteoporosis sheep model.
2- The development of 3D animal models
Project Leader: António Veloso
Project purposes:
- To continue te previous work of developing a rat bilateral hindlimb model for the study of peripheral nerve injury recovery.
