講座摘要：
Biomechanical simulation has played an important role in improving our knowledge of human movement and advancing treatment of movement disorders. In this talk, I will present our efforts in developing and utilizing computational models to advance our understanding of theoculomotor system and the musculoskeletal system. Contributions of the peripheral ocular plant in accomplishing complex eye movement are under debate. To understand its functions in both normal and pathological conditions, a realistic computational model is needed. I will describe the first three-dimensional biomechanical model of the orbit that can simulate the dynamics of ocular motility interactively. We are especially motivated to use this model to investigate the pulley hypotheses and the mechanical factors of strabismus. I will then present our work on musculoskeletal simulation. Strand-based biomechanical models have been developed to simulate (1) hand movement and (2) muscle actions of the rat hind limb, an important animal model for studying spinal cord injury. At the end, I will also give an overview of other ongoing research projects in our Biomechanics laboratory.
