5. Tara Bonner
6. Jason Halloran (Cleveland State University)
7. Will Zaylor (Cleveland State University)

Agenda:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
2. Continue evaluation of drafts for data manuscripts.
3. Discuss tissue mechanical testing protocol evaluation.
4. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
5. Other.

Immediate Action Items:

• Ahmet
  • Work on segmentation of MCL of oks001.
• Craig
  • Document manual segmentation in the relevant specifications page.
  • Expand the documentation on output of segmented volumes as surfaces in the segmentation specifications page to emphasize raw (non-smoothed) surface output.
  • Continue working on recommendations discussed in the meeting for the imaging manuscript.
  • Explore and document geometry generation workflow.
• Snehal
  • Update tissue testing analysis script to identify zero force displacement (next two weeks).
  • Write a Python script for manual identification of tissue thickness from tissue images (next two weeks).
• Jason
  • Provide the background for the patellofemoral joint testing manuscript.
• Robb
  • Complete the first draft of the patellofemoral joint testing manuscript.
  • Work with Craig to get patellofemoral joint contact pressures analyzed.
• Tara
  • Continue reviewing sections of the patellofemoral joint testing manuscript.
  • Complete tibiofemoral joint testing manuscript.

• Robb, Tara, & Craig

  • Meet to work on overlapping content of data manuscripts.

• Tara & Ahmet

  • Meet to work on AP laxity repeatability data analysis.
• Will
  • Put tdmsParser in Open Knee(s) source code repository.

Ongoing Action Items:

DEADLINE FOR SECOND DRAFT DATA PAPERS IS APRIL 1, 2016

• Ahmet
  • 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
  • Add citations and summaries to tissue data papers to the wiki for potential use to model tissue properties.
  • Pivot shift manuscript.

  • Cruciate ligament modeling & simulation.

• Robb
  • Patellofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
• Tara
  • Tibiofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.

6. Will developed a Python suite, tdmsParser, to work with TDMS and configuration files generated by SimVitro. He is using Sphinx for automated documentation. Ahmet noted that Omar Gad and Connor Lough wrote some code for similar reasons. It may be a good idea to incorporate these into Will's code. Will will create a tdmsParser folder in utl/SimVitro folder of the source code repository to put his scripts.

7. Will demonstrated visualization of ligament length changes with rhombodial insertions to define cruciate ligament fibers. He has been using oks001 data for this purpose.
