Modeling Postural Deficiency in Hemiplegia
A three years research fellow is available at Lirmm.
Application deadline: June 1st 2009.
This work aims at contributing to the detection and rehabilitation of stroke, by focusing on modelling and experimental components of efficient and deficient postural behaviour. Stroke has many deficient consequences at cognitive and sensorimotor levels, which may be modelled, diagnosed, and may orient adequate rehabilitation programs.
Specifically, this research aims at achieving a computational modelling of the coordination and control of human posture as a tool for quantitative analysis and diagnosis of movement disorders induced by stroke. Postural coordination and control is one emblematic function of human agents in daily life that exhibits well-known neurophysiological and behavioural regularities. The (ir-)regularities in postural behaviour produced by hemiplegia are less known, even if a large amount of work has been devoted to hemiplegic posture during the last three decades or so.
The position holder will develop a 3D computational model for postural coordination dynamics in bipedal stance reproducing actual behaviours observed in well-documented postural tasks. The model will use neuro-muscular paradigms. An experimental validation of this model will be performed in-situ with hemiplegic patients.
The position is open to candidates with master degree or equivalent degree in automatic control, robotics or applied mathematics. Interests in biomechanic and/or neurosciences would be appreciated.
Co-Supervision: Pr. P. Fraisse, Pr. B. Bardy
