The Biomechanics Research Laboratory has a long experience in spine research. As in some other areas, the combination of empirical testing and computational modeling is basic for our research. Through Finite Element modeling the laboratory address basic understanding of biomechanical behaviors of the spine and complex clinical applications of those principles. Some of the areas of interest are spine vibrations, implant modeling, fusion, plating techniques, cages, etc.
Collaboration with medical doctors enhance our knowledge of clinical issues and allows us to address their needs.
The current research focuses on evaluation, through finite element modeling of complex scenarios. Fusion in lumbar and cervical spine, using different methods and instrumentation is addressed.
