The Annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics

计算技术在骨科生物力学中的应用不断增加，因为计算资源更广泛，与这些技术相关的成本更低，这些模型的复杂性增加，随之而来的结果是近似肌肉骨骼系统生理学的能力增加。与传统的实验技术相比，计算方法具有很大的优势，可以预测无法测量的物理参数。这些技术是如何发展的传播是重要的，并导致我们对骨科生物力学的理解迅速发展。骨科生物力学计算方法年度研讨会（简称“Pre-ORS”）是一个主要的国际论坛，专门致力于在骨科生物力学中使用新型计算机工具。该会议为研究生在骨科研究领域使用计算方法的研究提供了传播途径。研讨会提供了与教师和其他研讨会参与者进行个人互动的充分机会，对演讲者来说是一次独特的教育经历。骨科生物力学计算方法年度研讨会是一个为期一天的活动，历史上安排在附近大学骨科研究学会年会开幕的前一天。此外，由于研讨会主要面向学士学位后的学生，因此传统上不向与会者收取注册费。研讨会的主要目标是：介绍计算机辅助技术在骨科生物力学领域的最新影响；教育科学家和研究人员使用这些技术；促进计算机技术在生物力学研究中的应用；为研究生和博士后提供一个机会，向他们的同龄人和计算骨科生物力学领域的领导者展示他们的研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary The use of computational techniques in orthopaedic biomechanics continues to increase owing to the more widely available computational resources, lower cost associated with these techniques, and rise in complexity of these models with the subsequent result of an increased capacity to approximate the physiology of the musculoskeletal system. Computational methods hold great advantages over traditional experimental techniques and provide for prediction of physical parameters that cannot be measured. The dissemination of how these techniques are developing is important and has lead to the rapid advancement of our understanding of orthopaedic biomechanics. The Annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics ("Pre-ORS", for short) is a premier international forum uniquely dedicated to the use of a new breed of computer-based tools in orthopaedic biomechanics. The conference provides an avenue for the dissemination of research by graduate students in the sphere of orthopaedic research using computational methods. The symposium provides ample opportunity for personal interaction with faculty and other symposium participants and is a unique educational experience for the presenters. The annual Symposium on Computational Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics is a single day event that is historically scheduled the day before the opening of the Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society at a nearby University. In addition, since the symposium is primarily for post-baccalaureate students, there has traditionally been no registration fee charged to the attendees. The main objectives of the symposium are: to present the most current thinking on the impact of computer-assisted techniques in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics; to educate scientists and researchers in the use of these techniques; to promote the use of computer technology in biomechanical research; to provide an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to present their research to an audience of their peers and to leaders in the field of computational orthopaedic biomechanics.
