Head impact biomechanics for protecting the active ageing population KU Leuven
In Europe, the incidence of fatal and hospitalized traumatic brain injury (TBI) is 262/100.000/year. Lately, a significant increase in the proportion of elderly patients suffering TBI has been observed. This can be explained by changing demographics, better health status allowing them to remain fully active, but also by the presumed mechanical vulnerability of the ageing brain and surrounding tissues.
While staying active is rightfully ...

Neural decoding for brain-machine interfaces KU Leuven
Brain-computer interfaces provide a communication pathway between the human brain and an external machine, typically a computer. Two major approaches exist: invasive or intracranial and non-invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). In the field of intracranial BMIs, attention has mainly been focused on recordings in the motor system.
The aim of this project is to decode neural activity recorded in different cortical areas e.g. the ...

Mechanical and Structural Alterations after Surgical Treatment of Wrist Osteoarthritis KU Leuven
Wrist osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common conditions encountered by hand surgeons. There is no cure to OA. In severe cases, surgical treatment, such as proximal row carpectomy or four corner arthrodesis is performed to reduce pain and to improve mobility; yet, with varying success rates and controversy exists on which procedure is the optimal one. It is hypothesized that patient-specific differences in bone microstructure play a ...
