All the efforts to identify injury kinematics for non-contact ACL injury will be documented here.

Goals

• Development of a pipeline based on study by Kim et al (1) to identify injury kinematics when bone bruise locations are provided.
• Test the pipeline on specimens from Open Knee(s) project where approximate bone bruise locations will be provided.
• Test sensitivity of results to bone bruise locations.

Tools

• Segmentation: 3D Slicer
• Programming: Python3

Development

• Project overview - Overview

• Weekly goals (April 06, 2020 - July 24, 2020) - Goals
