On 17 October 2024, the Erasmus MC / TU Delft MOtion Biomechanics & Imaging (MOBI) Lab will open its doors at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. This innovative research centre is the culmination of a unique collaboration between Erasmus MC and TU Delft, and is a significant step in our joint mission: to accelerate the translation of technological innovations into clinical practice, with the aim of creating direct benefits for society.

Speakers:
Keynote lecture by Bill Taylor: The Power of Fluoroscopy for Joint Biomechanics |
||
|
||
Keynote lecture by Gerjo van Osch: Joint LoaD in Osteoarthritis, a Multiscale Approach |
||
|
Osteoartritis: the silent epidemic | Sita Bierma-Zeinstra |
||
In this presentation I will focus on the current state of the art in clinical OA research, including why early treatment is needed, and certain treatments should be subgroup specific.
|
||
Advances in Imaging of Osteoarthritis, from structure to function | Edwin Oei |
||
In this presentation I will highlight activities of the Advanced Musculoskeletal Imaging Research Erasmus MC (ADMIRE) group in developing, validating and implementing imaging biomarkers in clinical trials on osteoarthritis and how this field is moving towards the future. I will address the utility of traditional “static” MRI, followed by more novel quantitative MRI techniques to assess altered joint tissue composition and blood perfusion in osteoarthritis. Next, I will highlight the most novel imaging technique, hybrid PET-MRI, which allows visualization of metabolic joint processes. Finally, I will emphasize how, moving forward, information on joint load and biomechanics from the MOBI-lab will complement and advance imaging of osteoarthritis.

Personalisation of Biomechanical models | Ajay Seth |
||
|
||
The MOBI lab, how and why it came about | Jaap Harlaar |
||
In this presentation I will focus on the importance of proper assessment of the pathomechanics of cartilage load in vivo, in order (a) to better understand the etiology of cartilage degeneration and (b) to arrive at personalized treatment, based on the recognition of pathomechanical subtypes of OsteaArthritis. I will stress the importance of high level research on movement biomechanics ánd tissue biomechanics to be applied in a clinical context of high level clinical research, to make this happen… I will also explain the five year history of conceptualization of the MOBI, including the barriers we had to take, together with upcoming projects and plans.
