Keynote Speakers
We are proud to announce the following keynote speakers for ICMST 2025:
Dr. Todd Pataky
Affiliation: Department of Human Health Sciences, Kyoto University, Japan
Title: Statistical Parametric Mapping in Biomechanics: an historical perspective
Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) first appeared in the Biomechanics literature...
Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) first appeared in the Biomechanics literature in 2006, but its journey as a general data analysis methodology has a substantially deeper history. This lecture will consider the historical development of key statistical ideas --- starting in the 1700s --- that ultimately gave rise to SPM's core theory in the 1970s. The role of large dataset analysis challenges --- in Biomechanics, Neuroimaging and beyond --- will also be considered as a catalyst for SPM's emergence in the applied literature in the 1990s. SPM's current role in Biomechanics will be discussed along with its future prospects as a general data analysis framework.
Dr. Chih-Hsiu Cheng
Affiliation: School of Physical Therapy, Chang Gung University, Taiwan
Title: Toward Personalized Spine Health: From Biomechanical Insights to Digital Therapeutics for Active Aging
This speech explores the integration of patient-specific finite element...
This speech explores the integration of patient-specific finite element modeling and digital therapeutics to advance personalized spine health in aging populations. Our recent studies have examined biomechanical changes in patients undergoing cervical and lumbar spine surgeries, offering insights into load redistribution, surgical impact, and compensatory adaptations in the aging spine. To address these clinical challenges, we developed several assistive systems targeting pain management and functional decline in older adults. This presentation will emphasize age-related movement impairments, rehabilitation demands, and the translational potential of spine biomechanics in shaping next-generation digital health interventions.
Dr. Hélène Pillet
Affiliation: Institut de Biomécanique Humaine Georges Charpak, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, France
Title: From locomotion biomechanics to the design of assistive device for people with disabilities
In this presentation, we will discuss various scientific aspects of biomechanics...
In this presentation, we will discuss various scientific aspects of biomechanics, including kinematics, dynamics, stability, and mechanical interactions at the interface between devices and humans. Through several concrete examples addressing real-life and sports-related challenges, we will highlight how biomechanical analysis supports the development of effective and personalized assistive technologies. By understanding movement strategies and the transfer of mechanical actions through interfaces, we aim to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical applications that enhance the mobility, autonomy, and quality of life of people with disabilities.
Dr. Jooeun Ahn
Affiliation: Department of Physical Education, Seoul National University, Korea
Title: Enhancing movement with simple, compact, light but smart garments
Various wearable devices have been developed to support and enhance human movement...
Various wearable devices have been developed to support and enhance human movement. However, many individuals are reluctant to adopt such technologies due to the discomfort and inconvenience associated with wearing bulky or complex equipment. This lecture will introduce various garment-type wearable devices that are deliberately designed to be simple, compact, and lightweight, yet effective in improving human motor performance. This lecture will also explain the underlying mechanisms of the devices, and highlight the importance of harmoniously integrating comfort and functionality to promote user acceptance and practical utility.
Stay tuned for more updates on our distinguished speakers.
