Immediate Action Items:
- Ahmet
- Disseminate joint mechanics testing data for oks004 and oks008.
- Prepare flowcharts to describe data flow for pre-processing of joint kinematics/kinetics data.
- Schedule Advisory Board meeting.
- Craig
- Explore hexahedral meshing workflows in Salome for STL surfaces.
- Document in the relevant wiki page convergence of Open Knee(s) - Generation 1 model when using springs.
- Prepare outline of imaging data manuscript with reference to Scientific Data journal format.
- Snehal
- Go over meshing documentation provided by Craig to evaluate the reproducibility of meshing strategies (with the upgraded Salome).
- Try lightning system with the optical tissue thickness measurement system.
- Collect sample data with the optical tissue thickness measurement system.
- Arrange dedicated computer and space for the optical tissue thickness measurement system.
- Robb and Tara
- Perform and upload left knee coordinate system versions of joint mechanics data for oks003.
- Perform and upload post-experiment calibration file for contact pressure data of oks007.
- Tara
- Prepare outline of tibiofemoral joint data manuscript with reference to Scientific Data journal format.
- Robb
- Prepare outline of patellofemoral joint data manuscript with reference to Scientific Data journal format.
- Will
- Evaluate download packages, e.g. for oks001.
Ongoing Action Items:
- Craig
- Anatomical imaging manuscript.
- Large-scale analysis of simulation parameters for convergence.
- Snehal
- Pivot shift manuscript.
Cruciate ligament modeling & simulation.
- Robb
- Patellofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
- Tara
- Tibiofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
Notes:
- Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
- Ahmet was in abroad. He did not complete his action items. He will follow up with them this week.
- Craig was in abroad last week. He will follow up with his remaining action items this week.
- Snehal went over the documentation on meshing. While she was able to follow the instructions well, she needed a newer version of Salome installed on her computer. She will continue testing meshing procedures after installation of a newer version of Salome.
- Robb needed update scripts to transform data in right knee abstraction to physical left knee coordinate systems. He will upload oks003 data this week. Post-experiment calibration file for oks007 was not found in computers used for data collection. The sensor will be calibrated again to provide this information.
- Robb and Tara started to format their respective manuscripts to conform the organization of Scientific Data. Content from relevant conference abstracts were copied in these. Detailed outlines still need to be prepares (also see the relevant agenda item below).
- Discuss potential publications.
- TBD
- Discuss tissue testing protocol evaluation progress.
- TBD
- Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
- See Immediate Action Items above.
- Other.
- Will Zaylor joined the meeting. He is a graduate student from Cleveland State University working with Jason Halloran. Will wants to understand the Open Knee(s) project with the intention to utilize Open Knee(s) data. Ahmet tasked Will with the activity to download oks001 data in order to evaluate data contents and supporting documentation. His feedback will be useful for making sense of raw data sets, in particular the joint mechanics data. Ahmet asked him to provide his questions/feedback through public forums of Open Knee(s).
- Ahmet informed the group that he has to schedule the Advisory Board meeting. He is also planning to include two researchers, Kevin Shelburne and Carl Imhauser, in the discussions. Both work on modeling and simulation of the knee and collect data that can complement Open Knee(s) project.
- Snehal informed the team that there has not been any knees received from specimen suppliers and that we may need to wait longer.
Ahmet asked Robb about the status of pivot shift robotic experimentation manuscript. Pivot shift profiles from this manuscript is the basis for modeling & simulation case study conducted by using Open Knee(s) - Generation 1 model. The experimentation manuscript was declined for further review by Journal of Biomechanical Engineering due to its high clinical content. The plan is to submit it to a clinically relevant journal, where the technical details can be incorporated in the supplementary materials.
