BeMoveD - Movement analysis of the Julius Wolff Institute (JWI)

BeMoveD was launched by the Julius Wolff Institute (JWI). As a research institute, the JWI conducts application and basic research in the field of orthopaedics and trauma surgery. The main area of research is the regeneration and biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system and the improvement of joint replacement. BeMoveD and JWI work hand in hand for a movement analysis according to the latest scientific knowledge.

Julius Wolff Institute (JWI) -
Center for Musculoskeletal Biomechanics and Regeneration at the BIH

Basic and applied research in orthopaedics and trauma surgery

To the JWI Website
Understanding of the interplay between movement and loading in joint replacement and fracture healing.
Enabling of movement.
Triggering of regeneration in challenging healing situations. These include delayed bone healing, bone defect healing, muscle trauma, ligament injuries and osteoarthritis.
In the tradition of Julius Wolff

The institute stands in the tradition of Julius Wolff, the founder of the orthopedic clinic in the Charité. The theory of Julius Wolff – the so-called "Wolff's law" – shows the correlation between mechanics and medicine, and explains that the form and structure of bone constantly adapts to mechanical loading. Wolff's law is still highly relevant for musculoskeletal research today.

Research inspired by Julius Wolff

Using Wolff's findings as a basis, we strudy the influence how biology is affected by mechanical stimulation. For example, we study stresses and strains on the musculoskeletal system of patients and athletes. Furthermore, we are investigating the regeneration processes of bone, cartilage, muscles and ligaments and analyze the loads acting on joints and bones during these processes.

Clinical Cooperation

In order to translate our findings into practice we have a close partnershipt with the Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery.

Research Networks

The Julius Wolff Institute plays a significant role in various reserach networks.

Translation of research into clinical practice

Our research benefits patient care and stimulates innovations for implants in the area of joint replacement as well as fracture healing. Through a better understanding of biological processes during healing, we were able to develop new therapies and products for accelerating healing processes. In order to translate our findings into practice we closely collaborate with national and international partners from industry and science.
