個人的研究主要著重在人體神經骨骼系統之生物力學及相關臨床議題與產業應用。透過研究開發創新理論與技術,在人體動作分析、骨科生物力學、運動生物力學及影像生物力學等領域,探索未知的現象、解決待解決的問題,以利提昇臨床醫療與實務應用之品質。歷年共計有143篇SCI期刊論文發表(近五年共有82篇),目前論文被引用共2141次,單一文章被引用最高為433次,以及多項國科會補助之跨領域研究計畫,並多次獲邀於國際會議發表大會演講(Keynote Speech)、獲選國際動作分析學會理事長等殊榮。近年來,亦利用個人特有的人體動作分析技術,投入攜帶型感測器的應用開發,協助產業界提升其於此蓬勃發展產業之競爭力。

動作與運動是人類生活的核心所在,亦是影響人類健康最主要的因素之一。人體各種動作係透過骨骼、肌肉、韌帶及關節彼此間複雜且高度協調的互動所達成,任一環節出問題均會減損動作功能。因此,瞭解各元件受力情形對病因的確認、治療方法的選定以及療效的評估均有直接的幫助。然而,神經骨骼肌肉系統生物力學之研究最大的困難在於人體內力尚無法直接量得。各個解剖構造如何產生並傳遞力量而改變其幾何及運動狀態均難以非侵入性方法精確測量。此限制對人體動作控制之瞭解、相關疾病之診斷與療效評估、傷害之預防、人工關節與植入物之設計與臨床使用前之測試等,均有極大影響。

個人過去五年積極在上述領域開發新的技術以探討現階段極為重要的臨床課題。主要結合非侵入性之量測與數學模型之建立來間接估算關節、骨骼、肌肉及韌帶等受力元件之荷重。其中,整合動作分析及醫學影像技術提供了極為重要的量測與理論分析之基礎。並分由實驗與理論兩方向切入再加以整合。實驗部份係在病人肢段上特定位置貼上反光標記,並以三維運動量測系統、自行開發之三維動態X光量測技術與測力板等,同步紀錄病人之運動資料、地面反力及肌電訊號。理論部份則依臨床議題所需,建立以電腦圖像為基礎的人體解剖動力學模型,並配合實驗資料計算身體內力,並以侵入性方法或屍體實驗取得部分內力及運動資料以驗證所建模型。驗證後之模型即可用於大量非侵入性活體研究,探討相關臨床課題。

個人利用上述各項新技術進行一系列人體神經骨骼肌肉系統相關臨床與實務課題之研究,近五年共有82篇SCI期刊論文發表。茲就其中最具創新與突破性之五項成果分述如下:

(一)、三維動態X光量測技術:為了精確量測活體關節之三維動態運動,以評估各種傷害與手術對關節造成之影響。動作分析領域已發展許多技術,然而很少技術能以非侵入式方法精確測量關節動態運動。個人過去數年致力於結合電腦骨骼模型與平面動態X光系統,發展三維動態X光量測技術以量得活體於承重狀況下,不受到皮膚移動誤差限制之三維精確關節運動。成功發展出一全新的活體關節運動量測技術(WEMS),並用於研究各種功能活動下,正常人、前十字韌帶缺損患者與人工關節患者之膝關節運動;並探討牙科、足部、上肢關節及頸腰椎之相關臨床問題。此外,更結合動作分析系統量化軟組織移動誤差與其誤差模式,並發展皮膚誤差補償方式,廣獲世界各研究團隊與商用軟體採用,於該領域居世界領先地位。以此研究為基礎,目前正整合客製化關節有限元素模型,以精確之關節三維運動為邊界條件,挑戰生物力學中最迷人的估算活體內力問題,包括關節面接觸力與內力等。上述相關研究成果於近五年業已產出SCI論文13篇,其中包括醫學影像領域SCI優良期刊Medical Physics (IF=2.911)以及生物力學領域最重要期刊Journal of Biomechanics (IF=2.716)等國際期刊。

(二)、小兒骨科研究:台大醫院是我國小兒骨科重鎮,守護我國未來主人翁。個人為骨科合聘教授,特別投入相關研究。利用立體攝影系統結合三維電腦數學模型之技術,進行一系列臨床研究,協助臨床診斷或釐清病理。相關臨床議題包括腦性麻痺、髖關節脫臼及髖臼發育不良等常見之小兒骨科疾病。其中早期矯正發展性髖關節發育異常(DDH),一般認為可以減少股骨頭缺血性壞死及退化性關節炎等嚴重併發症。Pemberton’s osteotomy可調整髖臼容積與覆蓋方向而使異常的髖關節得以重獲較佳的幾何關係,因此被廣泛用於早期治療DDH。然文獻指出,接受Pemberton’s osteotomy的DDH患者仍有較高的機率發生股骨頭缺血性壞死及退化性髖關節炎。至今尚未有文獻針對接受Pemberton’s osteotomy的DDH患者走路時下肢受力進行研究,以釐清其患病風險之原因。個人與研究團隊利用三維步態分析技術,量測接受Pemberton’s osteotomy治療單側DDH之青少年與健康控制組走路時下肢的受力情形。結果發現,Pemberton組雙腳之髖、膝、踝關節最大軸向力皆顯著高於控制組,且其地面反作用力與髖關節軸向力的受力率亦明顯較高,顯示Pemberton組的雙腳都有可能提早發生關節炎的風險。倘若患側髖關節於術後尚有覆蓋率不足或關節表面受破壞的情況,則關節較大的軸向力亦會導致股骨頭缺血性壞死的發生。因此,定期監控步行受力情形極為重要。本系列研究成果於近五年業已產出SCI論文10篇,其中包括骨科領域SCI傑出期刊Journal of Orthopaedic Research (IF=2.875)及Journal of Biomechanics (IF=2.716), Gait and Posture (IF=1.969)等生物力學及步態分析領域最重要之頂尖期刊。

(三)、神經系統疾病相關研究:神經系統疾病一向為複雜度較高之臨床議題,舉凡脊髓損傷、帕金森氏症、中風等相關中樞或周邊神經系統疾病皆是。神經系統疾病直接影響動作控制與表現。因此,個人所開發結合立體攝影與三維電腦數學模型之技術,可以有效釐清許多臨床的疑問,提升病患的治療品質。其中,中風是老人族群產生慢性功能失調最常見的原因,雖然隨著臨床診斷與治療的進步,患者功能損傷的情況可獲得大幅改善,其功能甚至可恢復至臨床評估工具定義之正常狀態。但是,這類中風患者在執行如跨越障礙物等難度較高的動作時仍有跌倒風險。惟目前臨床上的評估工具尚無法分辨此類細微差異,國際上亦無相關文獻解決此問題。個人利用三維動作分析技術,比較健康者與近似正常中風病患於跨越障礙物時之運動學與力動學表現,並發現近似正常的中風患者採取較保守的策略,使其能安全地跨越障礙物。但是,如果所需的相關肌力不足者,則反而增加向前跌倒的風險。此外,研究結果亦顯示,三維動作分析技術可以作為區別近似正常之中風患者與健康者之間動作表現差異的敏感評估工具。神經系統疾病相關研究成果於近五年業已產出SCI論文11篇,其中包括動作分析領域SCI頂尖期刊Gait and Posture (IF=1.969)、Journal of Biomechanics (IF=2.716),與神經復健領域SCI傑出期刊Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair (IF=4.617), Physical Therapy (IF=3.245)及American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (IF=1.731) 等國際期刊。

(四)、老化相關疾病之研究:隨著老年化社會的來臨,老人醫學相關議題益發受到重視,如退化性關節炎、人工關節置換、老人平衡控制問題等。其中,跌倒是六十五歲以上老人事故傷害死亡的第二大原因,更是老人事故傷害住院的主因,使得社會須付出極大的醫療成本。老化且伴隨上述疾病更會提高跌倒風險。因此,預防老人跌倒是一重要且迫切的議題。在跌倒發生原因中,因障礙物絆倒是老人跌倒的主要原因之一,然其背後機制尚不明朗。因此,個人利用自行開發動作分析技術,探討健康老人行走跨越障礙物時控制策略的改變及可能提高跌倒風險的可能因素。此外,退化性膝關節炎亦是老化常見的問題,患者可能會因疼痛、肌力不足、本體感覺受損、關節活動度降低亦或其他功能損傷,而致使因障礙物絆倒的機率增加。但國際上並未有相關文獻探討這類患者跨越障礙物時的控制策略以及可能影響跌倒的因子。個人研究首度發現,為了減少膝關節負荷及疼痛,退化性膝關節炎老人將骨盆前傾以減少膝關節伸展力矩,但卻也付出髖關節伸展力矩以及其他額狀面關節力矩增加的代價,並可能致使發生跌倒的機率提高。相關研究成果於近五年業已發表SCI論文21篇,包括Gait and Posture (IF=1.969) 及Journal of Biomechanics (IF=2.716) 等生物力學及步態分析領域最重要之頂尖期刊。

(五)、三維動態核磁共振攝影技術:近年來核磁共振造影技術的大幅提升,使得核磁共振影像於空間解析度和時間解析度方面皆有了顯著的進步。個人與學生於過去三年來積極與德國Biomedizinische NMR Forschungs GmbH合作,引進目前全世界最先進之二維即時化磁振造影技術,用以替代動態X光系統拍攝關節即時運動之功能。我們團隊運用即時化磁振造影技術以取得受試者之膝關節於屈曲、伸直運動時的二維即時化影像,並且另外取得該受試者於靜態姿勢下的三維核磁共振影像,再結合過去團隊於影像對位技術上的經驗,成功開發一套非侵入式且不具任何輻射曝照的三維動態關節動作量測技術,且驗證該技術於量測活體膝關節運動時之精確度(translation: 1.4 mm; rotation: 1.8°)。該技術居世界領先地位,除已發表於醫學影像領域SCI優良期刊Medical Physics ( IF=2.911)外,並獲得Siemens CEO的肯定與國外研究單位的高度關注。以此研究為基礎可進一步整合核磁共振影像於軟組織結構解析性的優勢,探討活體膝關節於運動時,對應的周圍韌帶、軟骨之形變等重要的生物力學議題。未來,本人與團隊成員將致力於更進一步提升該量測方法之精確度並簡化整體方法流程以縮短重建三維運動所需時間,以期將來能夠達到活體關節四維核磁共振造影(Joint 4D MRI)的終極目標。
