May, 25th-27th 2023 Venues: Asinara National Park Headquarter – Via Ponte Romano 81, Porto Torres (SS)Palazzo Reale – Cala Reale, Island of Asinara DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM The BoHNES InterUniversity Centre, in collaboration with the “Parco Nazionale dell’Asinara” and the “Fondazione di Sardegna,” presents the 2023 IUC-BoHNES Colloquium. The theme selected for the Colloquium is: Reduced Mobility Should Not Reduce Our Enjoyment of Nature We all belong to nature, and we should all benefit from it Historically, people dealing with reduced mobility due to disease or impairment affecting locomotion have been faced with limited access to nature. Modern societies address the issue by designing dedicated experiences and removing physical and societal obstacles from itineraries in natural environments. The National Park of Asinara is also very sensitive to this issue and is launching initiatives to allow people with reduced mobility to visit and take advantage of the natural beauty of the Island of Asinara. Science can contribute significantly to closing the gap between how non-disabled people and people with reduced mobility enjoy nature. The BoHNES Colloquium gathers young scientists with mobility expertise from an engineering and physical exercise standpoint. In this two-day event, they will have an opportunity to share problems and results of their scientific activity in a very inspiring natural context.

A system that shows such reproducibility would be of high value. Based on the partners’ own experience, a common protocol was defined in order to create multicentric research based on low-cost equipment that would be available at each partner premises. Next to this international and multicentric validation work, the aim is to produce one publication in an international journal. Victor Sholukha (ULB) and Serge Van Sint Jan (ULB) will present a data collection system based on the Kinect sensor and customized software (including data smoothing and optimization) to produce scientifically meaningful results from this easily available hardware. This system could be a first option to organize a multicentric reproducibility study that would aim to determine if such system would show a good inter-center reproducibility during analyzing of specified tasks. 10.00 Break10.15 General Assembly Junior Keynote speaker 11.15 “Portable cardiac monitoring using ballistocardiography: from space research to clinical applications” – Jeremy Rabineau (ULB).12.30 Lunch Free communication 13.30 “The effect of ankle and hindfoot malalignment on foot mechanics in patients suffering from post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis” – Paul-André Deleu (LYON1)13.50 “Analysis of spatial parameters during gait with magneto-inertial and infrared proximity sensors” – Rachele Rossanigo (UNISS)14.10 “Anatomical variations of the temporo-mandibular joints (TMJ) and implication in TMJ motion representation” – Gael Bescond (ULB) 14.20 “The influence of neck and thoracic spine curvatures on musculoskeletal disorder related upper limb biomechanics parameters” – Aurelie Tomezzoli (LYON1)14.30 “Two dimensional markerless gait analysis protocol for estimating the sagittal lower limb joint kinematics with a single RGB-D camera for clinical applications” – Diletta Balta (UNISS)14.50 “Gait monitoring using non-dedicated sensors” – Nahime Al Abiad (LYON1)15.00 Break and Closing words by the President Bohnes 2020 BrusselsDownload

The Third Bohnes Colloquium will take place in Aix-en-Provence from January the 30th to February the 1st 2017. The colloquium is meant to improve the knowledge of human locomotor system’s structure and functioning, and to implement effective digital tools and technologies, to be used in arts, skills, and professions.

Two calls for applications to PhD programs are now open at University of Rome “RomaTre” and “Foro Italico”. Both calls reserve one of the available scholarships for foreign applicants who – to be considered for admission – must have earned a Graduate-Level Degree abroad.

As part of the series “The Keynotes of ISB 2015”, this keynote by Prof. Laurence Chèze and Dr. Claudia Mazzà focuses on Measurement Technologies. Presenting drawbacks and strengths, the lecturers give hope for the future of biomechanics.

As part of the series “The Keynotes of ISB 2015”, the Wartenweiler Memorial Lecture was brilliantly delivered by Prof. Aurelio Cappozzo taking a trip through the history of biomechanics to present the state of the art in the field.
