- Craig
- Meet with summer students to go over convergence optimization wiki and describe workflow.
- Provide sample MR images for oks008 in the relevant wiki page.
- Snehal
- Complete notes section of June 9, 2015 meeting.
- Test all tissue types at 20%/s to evaluate the capacity for a simplified testing scheme (for next two weeks).
- Buy a camera for optical measurement system.
- Robb
- Conduct post-experiment calibration of pressure sensor used for oks008 testing.
- Connor
- Start segmenting registration markers
- Develop script to accommodate transformation between probed patella registration marker points and sphere centers.
- Diana
- Start verification of contact pressure analysis with Robb and Tara (using Tekscan original files).
- Work with Omar to read and analyze patellofemoral kinematics/kinetics data (including line of action of quadriceps load).
- Omar
- Work with Diana to help her read and analyze patellofemoral kinematics/kinetics data.
- Implement normalization of RMS errors in reproducilibity analysis.
- Raghav
- Start implementing camera interface to optical measurement script.
- Start thinking about uncertainty quantification of optical measurement system.
Ongoing Action Items:
- Ahmet
- Dissemination of joint mechanics testing data.
- Prepare flowcharts to describe data flow for pre-processing of joint kinematics/kinetics data.
- Craig
- Anatomical imaging manuscript.
- Large-scale analysis of simulation parameters for convergence.
- Snehal
- Continue interacting up with Biomomentum, Inc. about mechanical testing system tuning features.
- Complete the additional structured testing plan for tuning the system for different sample sizes, strain levels and strain rates.
- Pivot shift manuscript.
Cruciate ligament modeling & simulation.
- Evaluate alternative tissue testing strategy.
- Robb
- Patellofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
- Tara
- Tibiofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
Notes:
- Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
- Ahmet had some issues with SimpleITK to convert MR images from DICOM format to NIFTI format. He will follow up in the upcoming week to resolve this issue. Diana created a wiki page to draft specifications for patellofemoral joint contact analysis.
- Craig was at SB3C last week to present the imaging work for Open Knee(s). He will follow up with his action items in following weeks.
- Snehal has been working on Mach-1 system to resolve issues and she has been communicating with the Biomomentum, Inc. group. Currently, there has not been a resolution to effectively tune the system to accommodate testing at 100%/s strain rate. She will test all the tissues at 20%/s strain rate to ensure the fall back testing procedure works appropriately. Snehal has been providing sample data for summer students' projects on a need basis.
- Robb has been on vacation and also at the SB3C; he will work on post-experiment calibration of oks008 pressure sensor after he comes back.
- Tara provided laxity data for oks008. The group can discuss this when Robb and Tara comes back from vacation and business related trips.
- Discuss mid-term presentations to be given by research students.
