Overview

Raphaël Dumas is affiliated with Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 in France, specializing in research that intersects medicine and engineering. Their research contributions focus heavily on areas such as biomedical engineering, surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, as well as physical therapy, sports therapy, and rehabilitation.

The scientist's study topics cover a broad scope within lower extremity biomechanics and pathologies, muscle activation and electromyography studies, and balance, gait, and falls prevention. Other notable research topics include cerebral palsy and movement disorders, total knee arthroplasty outcomes, diabetic foot ulcer assessment and management, and musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation.

Raphaël Dumas has published extensively in several frequent venues, reflecting their multidisciplinary approach. Key publication venues include:

  • Gait & Posture
  • Journal of Biomechanics
  • Multidisciplinary Biomechanics Journal
  • Scientific Reports
  • SSRN Electronic Journal

Several recent papers illustrate the breadth of their work, focusing on kinematics and biomechanics in clinical and athletic contexts. Selected papers include:

  • Accuracy of a markerless motion capture system in estimating upper extremity kinematics during boxing (2022), published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
  • Impact of knee marker misplacement on gait kinematics of children with cerebral palsy using the Conventional Gait Model-A sensitivity study (2020), published in PLoS ONE
  • Knee loading in OA subjects is correlated to flexion and adduction moments and to contact point locations (2021), published in Scientific Reports
  • Post-sprain versus post-fracture post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis: Impact on foot and ankle kinematics and kinetics (2021), published in Gait & Posture
  • Dynamic estimation of soft tissue stiffness for use in modeling socket, orthosis or exoskeleton interfaces with lower limb segments (2022), published in Journal of Biomechanics

The scientist frequently collaborates with a consistent group of co-authors, including Alexandre Naaïm, Thomas Robert, Stéphane Armand, Laurence Chèze, and Antoine Muller. The close collaboration network suggests ongoing projects deeply connected with biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering.
