معرفی
Janie Wilson is a Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada. Her research focuses on biomechanical and statistical modeling of knee osteoarthritis (OA) development and surgical outcomes. She leads the Dynamics of Human Motion lab, specializing in gait analysis using motion capture and force platforms. Key projects include studying gait mechanics pre- and post-total knee replacement (CIHR-funded), longitudinal OA progression models (NSHRF-funded), and joint kinetics modeling (NSERC-funded). Her work integrates biomechanics with clinical applications to optimize OA treatments. Notable studies explore obesity and sex influences on OA biomechanics, barefoot running effects, and implant migration post-surgery. Dr. Wilson collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, including pandemic impacts on mobility and robotic knee replacement trials.
- Education: PhD (details unspecified)
Research Interests: knee OA pathomechanics, gait biomechanics, musculoskeletal modeling, surgical outcomes, and wearable sensor applications. Her lab hosts diverse OA cohorts, from asymptomatic individuals to post-surgical patients, generating extensive datasets for predictive modeling.
Recent work highlights machine learning for patient stratification in TKAs, telehealth telesurveys during the pandemic, and RSA imaging precision in arthroplasty. Findings emphasize gait asymmetry, muscle activation patterns, and joint load distribution as critical OA progression markers.
