Position and Personalize Advanced Human Body Models for Injury Prediction (PIPER)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2017,

"In passive safety, human variability is currently difficult to account for using crash test dummies and regulatory procedures. However, vulnerable populations such as children and elderly need to be considered in the design of safety systems in order to further reduce the fatalities by protecting all users and not only so called averages.Based on the finite element method, advanced Human Body Mod ...

Transverse, Intrafascicular Multichannel Electrode system for induction of sensation and treatment of phantom limb pain in amputees (TIME)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

Amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged, diseased, or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image, but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part, the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases, these sensations are painf ...

Thoracic injury assessment for improved vehicle safety (THORAX)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"About 41,600 people were killed and more than 1.7 million injured in European road accidents in 2005. Although the number of road fatalities has declined by more than 17% since 2001, more efforts will have to be made if the EC's targets on reduction of road fatalities and injuries are to be met. The THORAX Project will focus on reduction and prevention of thoracic injuries, one of the dominant ca ...
