BALANCE
Fusion3D
Lab-on-a-Chip The goal of this project is to refine mechanobiological modelling and advance prevascularized bone tissue engineering by characterizing the effect of mechanical signals on bone precursor cells, endothelial cells, and co-cultures of these cells, using a novel semi-high throughput screening system.
MINDWALKER EXOSKELETON

Wearable Exoskeletons
MIRIAM MIRIAM The goal of the Minimally Invasive Robotics In An MR environment, MIRIAM, project is to develop technology for minimally invasive surgical procedures in an MR environment. Our group will work together with two departments in the University of Twente, Control Engineering (CE) and Signals and Systems (SAS), as well as the Radbound University Nijmegen Medical Centre (RUNMC), Demcon Advanced Mechatronics, Siemens and Xivent Medical. Our role in the project is to develop MR compatible robotic manipulator technology with applications for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Flextension Flextension Adaptive arm orthotics for children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Aging Spine Aging Spine The goals of the AGING SPINE project are; firstly, to understand what causes the frequent occurrence of vertebral fractures in the aging spine, and, secondly, to design prevention methods for such fractures.
This involves computational and in vitro analyses on spines and vertebrae, as well as the design of new methods for the prevention and restoration of fractured vertebrae.
TLEMsafe TLEMsafe The burden of Musculo-skeletal (M-S) diseases and prosthetic revision operations is huge and increasing rapidly with the aging population. For patients that require a major surgical intervention, procedures are unsafe, uncertain in outcome and have a high complication rate. The goal of TLEMsafe is to create an ICT-based patient-specific surgical navigation system that helps the surgeon safely reaching the optimal functional result for the patient and is a user friendly training facility for the surgeons.
Tissue Biomechanics Tissue Biomechanics Mechanical forces play an important role in tissue development and homeostasis. Our goal is to understand the response of cells to mechanical signals and to use this knowledge to predict tissue behaviour and development.
Modeling and Identification of the corticospinal circuits Modeling and Identification of the corticospinal circuits The goal of this project is to develop and test system identification techniques for the identification of the corticospinal circuits.

Robotic Aided Neuro rehabilitation of arm and hand functioning Robotic Aided Neuro rehabilitation of arm and hand functioning Stroke is the leading cause of disabilities in Western civilizations. The treatment of stroke patients is labour intensive, and strongly dependent on the best-practice opinion of the rehabilitation centre or the individual therapist. In the last decade, several therapeutic devices have been developed by research groups from around the world, which have both made the therapy less labour intensive and have provided the therapists and scientific community with more objectively gathered measurements. But these devices are also still struggling to deliver significantly functional improvement over regular therapy for the patients
Analysis and Modeling of Gait disorders Analysis and Modeling of Gait disorders The development of an interactive tool which allows clinicians to learn from if-then scenarios with respect to treatment methods of gait disorders
Microneurography Microneurography Human muscle reflexes can be regarded as closed loop control systems, consisting of muscles (actuators), the central nervous system (controller) and the muscle mechanoreceptors, notably the muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. The mechanoreceptors are sensitive to muscle
