About the Author
Prof. Bernardo Innocenti has been working in the field of knee orthopaedic biomechanics from more than 17 years. During his entire career he has been involved in several research projects that, applying experimental and computational methodologies, alone or together, investigate the kinematics and the kinetics of the human knee joint, in healthy or pathologic conditions and, also, with a prosthesis. He is author of co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed publications about knee biomechanics. The analysis of the musculoskeletal loading in healthy and pathological subjects, the stress distribution in bone and in implant, and the study of prosthesis design, together with the simulation of bone remodeling and implant wear, are also additional fields in which he has been involved. Fabio Galbusera, engineer, is the Head of Spine Research at the Schulthess Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland. His main research interests are the biomechanics of the spine, the use of numerical models for its investigation as well as spinal imaging, about which he published more than 170 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. In the last years, he pioneered the use of artificial intelligence in the field of spine research, especially for the automated analysis of radiological images of the spine. One of his works in this field was awarded the ISSLS Prize for Bioengineering 2021. He is a member of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS), the Spine Society of Europe (EUROSPINE), the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR), and is currently part of the Editorial Boards of Journal of Biomechanics, European Spine Journal, Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology and of European Radiology Experimental.Regarding books, in 2018 he edited the book "Biomechanics of the Spine: Basic Concepts, Spinal Disorders and Treatments" together with Prof. Hans-Joachim Wilke, published by Elsevier.
