New doctoral dissertation
VILNIUS TECH Library invites you to follow the published new dissertations. The dissertation „Biomechanical musculoskeletal model-based children’s gait evaluation“ prepared by VILNIUS TECH, Jurgita Žižienė. The dissertation was prepared in 2017–2022, supervisors – Assoc. Prof. Dr Kristina Daunoravičienė.
The dissertation was defended at the public meeting of the Dissertation Defence Council of Mechanical Engineering in the Senate Hall of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University at 1 p. m. on 14 June 2022.
„The dissertation investigates problems arising from the analysis and evaluation of a pathological gait of children using direct and inverse kinematic models. The main object of the study is a musculoskeletal model-based lower limb motor assessment system for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Detailed analysis and interpretation of movement allow for choosing the most appropriate treatment for the patient. The main goal of the dissertation is to develop a motor assessment system for children with CP based on the musculoskeletal model, which will allow a comprehensive assessment of gait parameters and, at the same time, will help physicians make decisions about further treatment strategies. The research also aims to investigate the suitability of different existing digital and experimental tools for analysing the motion of children to highlight the most effective and indicate the most accurate and appropriate solutions.“
