项目摘要

Reconstructing activity patterns and locomotion based on fossil skeletal evidence is an important goal for understanding hominin evolution. However, the relationship between physical activity and bone structure is not fully understood, and such reconstructions require reference data from modern species. This project will investigate relationships between physical activity and bone structure, taking into consideration complicating factors such as age, sex, diet, and individual differences. The project will result in a mammalian reference dataset that will be relevant not only in biological anthropology but also in other research areas such as bone biology and sports medicine. The project will also provide valuable hands-on STEM research and training opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students, as well as public outreach activities involving local schools. This project will investigate differences in habitual posture and range of motion in major limb joints, using micro CT data and finite-element models of subchondral and trabecular structures and whole epiphyses in an ovid model. The investigators will define parameters of the hip, knee and ankle joints that are most indicative of exercise-induced changes in joint loading patterns, and evaluate how bony response changes with distance from the joint surface. They will assess age-related differences and also test whether short-term exercise leads to significant changes in subchondral and trabecular stiffness and force transmission. The goal is to be able to reconstruct individual and group differences in joint and whole-limb posture and range of motion, which will provide the experimental basis for making functional inferences about joint loading conditions and movement patterns used by extinct hominins and other primates.

基于化石骨骼证据的重建活动模式和运动是理解人类进化的重要目标。但是，体育活动与骨骼结构之间的关系尚不完全了解，这种重建需要现代物种的参考数据。考虑到年龄，性别，饮食和个体差异等复杂因素，该项目将研究体育活动与骨骼结构之间的关系。该项目将导致哺乳动物参考数据集，不仅与生物人类学有关，而且还与其他研究领域（例如骨骼生物学和运动医学）相关。该项目还将为本科，研究生和博士后学生以及涉及当地学校的公共外展活动提供宝贵的动手研究和培训机会。该项目将使用微小CT数据和小骨下部和小梁结构的有限元模型以及OVID模型中的整个Epiphyses研究习惯姿势和运动范围的差异。研究人员将定义臀部，膝关节和踝关节的参数，这些参数最能指示运动引起的关节载荷模式变化，并评估骨反应如何随距离关节表面的距离而变化。他们将评估与年龄相关的差异，并测试短期运动是否会导致软骨下和小梁刚度和力传播的显着变化。目的是能够重建关节和整个LIMB姿势以及运动范围的个体和组差异，这将为实验基础，以对灭绝的人类和其他灵长类动物使用关节负载条件以及运动模式进行功能推断。
