Summary

A sample model on a higher technological level, such as a precise virtual 3D prototype, contains innovative numerical fitting information (e.g., data about the areas of compression of a garment) that could improve the design and quality of the final sports garment and better satisfy the customer.

The aim of this research project was thus to reform existing garment prototyping processes for the active sportswear sector. The main focus was on the definition of accurate physical and mechanical high-tech sports fabric properties and on the use of virtual sports body animations to perform accurate simulation of sports garments.

In this project, Artanim was in charge of providing realistic body animations of different sports (alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, running and hiking). Moreover, Artanim worked on the development of software tools to improve the fabric measurements protocol by analyzing body motion and deformation.

Summary

Social interaction generally involves a multi-layered interaction where there is an interplay of self and other representations together with a participatory factor where people feel “they do things together”. Descriptions of this interaction range from high-level intentional descriptions on shared representations down to precise motor, gestural and postural studies on behavioral coordination.

In this project, we used motion capture in order to record and study specific motor factors of two people when they engage in joint action tasks and/or in social interaction. It was hence possible to obtain quantitative measurements at the behavioral level (body posture, motor coordination and synchronization, nonverbal language, etc.) in order to explore the brain and bodily mechanisms that relate to it. Respiration coupling and dual electroencephalography were also performed in this project.

Summary

The goal of this project was to develop several surgical planning tools taking into account both the anatomy and kinematics of the patient’s joint. We intended to continue and extended our previous research works by integrating them into a 3D surgical planning solution, called ArthroPlanner, which could be used in clinical routine and could thus directly benefit patients.

This project mainly aimed at developing solutions for the dynamic planning of the hip and shoulder and at extending our work to the knee.

Summary

Shoulder instability is a common pathology in young or athletic adult that results in chronic dislocations or subluxations. When multiple dislocations episodes occur, surgical treatment is indicated. But this treatment really stabilizes the joint or only prevents it to dislocate?

The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the shoulder stability in patients with anterior instability by performing a dynamic motion capture analysis before and after surgical treatment. The results of this study provided a better understanding of this disease, and evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed surgical treatment.

Summary

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a rare condition that involves pain in the neck and shoulder, numbness and tingling of the fingers. It happens when the nerves or blood vessels are compressed in the thoracic outlet which is the area between the rib cage and clavicle.

The goal of this study was to better understand certain causes of TOS by performing a dynamic simulation of the shoulder complex. Repetitive arm and shoulder movements, as well as anatomical defects can play a role in the development of TOS. In this study, motion capture and medical imaging (CT, MRI) were combined to improve assessment of this condition in symptomatic patients.
