Artificial Joint Biomaterials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies artificial joints and joint movement to understand the course of recovery after surgery.
AboutAbout the lab
Looking closely at artificial joints and joint movement
In the Artificial Joint Biomaterials Lab, Associate Professor Satoshi Hamai studies joint movement and the course after surgery, focusing on artificial hip and knee joints.
In research, the lab works on the biomechanics of the hip and knee joints.
The lab examines the timing of surgery, guidelines for rehabilitation, activity levels after surgery, and patients' own assessments.
In the field of orthopedic surgery, Associate Professor Satoshi Hamai also performs computer-assisted and robot-assisted surgery.
Key terms
- Biomechanics
- A field that studies body movement and the forces acting on joints using the principles of mechanics
- Patient-reported outcomes
- Measures that assess the results of surgery based on the patients' own responses rather than the physician's judgment
- Three-dimensional kinematics
- Joint movement captured and studied in three dimensions rather than on a flat plane
ResearchResearch themes
In this lab, Associate Professor Satoshi Hamai studies joint movement and the course after surgery, focusing on artificial hip and knee joints. In addition to biomechanics research, the lab works on research to find new guidelines for the timing of surgery and for rehabilitation.
*Illustrative imageTiming of surgery and rehabilitation guidelines
This research seeks new guidelines for the timing of artificial joint surgery and for rehabilitation.
*Illustrative imageTotal knee arthroplasty and leg alignment
The lab studies the relationship between leg alignment in total knee arthroplasty and patient-reported outcomes.
*Illustrative imageActivity levels measured with wearable devices
The lab uses wearable devices to measure activity levels after joint replacement and osteotomy.
*Illustrative imageThree-dimensional analysis of hip joint movement
The lab analyzes the movement of natural hip joints and artificial hip joints as three-dimensional kinematics. It examines the movement involved in periacetabular osteotomy and total hip arthroplasty, also using simulation.
