Computational Spine Biomechanics

The "in SEA2 SpineBot" project aims to acquire in-vivo biomechanical data of functional spine units. The project was reinitialized following the work of a collaboration between the Institute for Surgical Technology and Biomechanics (ISTB) of the University of Bern and the University Children's Hospital Basel (UKBB) in 2006. The new project outline resulted in an additional collaboration with Prof. Georg Rauter from the BIROMED Lab at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBE) and received initial funding from the Christian Toggenburger Prize that was rewarded to PD Dr. med. Daniel Studer in 2021. Consecutively, the project was reinitialized in the same year by recruiting Felix Erb as PhD candidate.

The aim of Felix Erb’s PhD project is the construction of an updated spinal measuring device for safe and reliable data acquisition with the implementation of serial elasticity in its robotic construction. The design overhaul of the project hopes to overcome the technical and functional vulnerabilities of the original SpineBot. In addition, a pre-interventional planning tool is under development to process low-dose CT data to patient-specific robot motion, which further allows for reliable patient-specific measurement and facilitates the integration of the biomechanical data in finite element simulations.

A prototype is being constructed following an extensive requirement analysis and conceptualization of the device. The team members expect a validation and feasibility study by the year 2025.
