This report describes the accomplishments of a three year LDRD project, aimed at developing computational models and methodologies for improving prosthetic joint design. The investigators developed human models as well as prosthetic joint models. Input data came both from high resolution scans performed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and from data provided by collaborators. Results of the approach, in addition to being presented at scientific meetings, are being used to obtain US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in the process of putting new implant designs on the market. |
