ASME <strong>2012</strong> Summer Bioengineering Conference<br />
Thursday, June 21, <strong>2012</strong> 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM<br />
Challenge: UNDERGRADUATE DESIGN COMPETITION IN<br />
REHABILITATIVE AND ASSISTIVE DEVICES<br />
- 6 -<br />
Vieques<br />
Organizers: Lorin Maletsky (University of Kansas), Martin Tanaka (Western Carolina University)<br />
The top six finalist teams in the undergraduate design competition in rehabilitation and assistive<br />
technologies will present their final projects. These six design projects were evaluated and<br />
selected based on a proposal submitted in January, and their presentations will now be judged<br />
to identify the top final project. Funding to help the teams with their projects and travel expenses<br />
was provided by the National Science Foundation.<br />
Challenge: COMPUTATIONAL FLUIDS DYNAMICS CHALLENGE Palominito<br />
Organizers: David A. Steinman (University of Toronto), Francis Loth (University of Akron)<br />
The Challenge centers on a giant cerebral aneurysm with proximal stenosis. This case derives<br />
from a study by Cebral et al. and was chosen for its clinical relevance and because questions<br />
were raised about the CFD predictions. This Challenge aims to test the sensitivity of steady and<br />
pulsatile pressure drops as predicted by different CFD solvers or groups, and against in vitro<br />
pressure measurements. Response to an open call for participation was impressive, with 27<br />
groups from around the world submitting preliminary results spanning a wide range of CFD<br />
approaches. Participants have been blinded to each other's findings and the experimental<br />
results, all of which will be revealed and summarized at the workshop in aggregated form. There<br />
will also be a roundtable discussion about the challenges of holding this Challenge, as well as<br />
plans for further Challenges. Time-permitting, a few participants will briefly introduce their CFD<br />
methods and verification strategies. After the workshop, participants will help draft a manuscript<br />
for submission to the ASME Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.<br />
Challenge: GRAND CHALLENGE COMPETITION TO PREDICT IN<br />
VIVO KNEE LOADS<br />
Icaco<br />
Organizers: B.J. Fregly (University of Florida), Darryl D'Lima (Shiley Center for Orthopaedic<br />
Research & Education at Scripps Clinic)<br />
This annual competition provides the musculoskeletal modeling research community with the<br />
unique opportunity to evaluate its muscle and contact force predictions for the knee. Each year,<br />
experimental movement data collected from a subject implanted with a force-measuring knee<br />
replacement are made available to competitors. Data are collected for gait and other movement<br />
tasks and include surface marker motion, ground reaction force, muscle EMG activity, muscle<br />
strength, CT/MR, and tibial tray contact force. The implant contact force measurements are<br />
withheld for the gait trials, and competitors use musculoskeletal models to predict medial and<br />
lateral contact forces in a blinded fashion for two specified gait trials. The winning team is<br />
selected based on prediction accuracy and modeling novelty and receives a $1000 cash award.<br />
This annual competition is sponsored by the Dynamics, Design, and Rehabilitation Technical<br />
Committee and by the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering under<br />
grant R01EB009351.
