The human body constantly experiences mechanical loading. However, quantifying internal
loads within the musculoskeletal system remains challenging, especially during …

Living cells are out of equilibrium active materials. Cell-generated forces are transmitted
across the cytoskeleton network and to the extracellular environment. These active force …

Cardiac mechanics models are developed to represent a high level of detail, including
refined anatomies, accurate cell mechanics models, and platforms to link microscale …

In biomechanics problems, the biological soft tissues are usually treated as anisotropic
nearly incompressible hyperelastic materials, but such complicated nonlinear material …

Background and objective The fetal representation as a 3D articulated body plays an
essential role to describe a realistic vaginal delivery simulation. However, the current …

Upper limb movement is vital in daily life. A biomechanical simulation of the forearm with
consideration of the physiological characteristics of the muscles is instrumental in gaining …

Purpose From the myofibrils to the whole muscle scale, muscle micro-constituents exhibit
passive and active mechanical properties, potentially coupled to electrical, chemical, and …

To analyse walking, running or hopping motions, models with high degrees of freedom are
usually used. However simple reductionist models are advantageous within certain limits. In …

The motivation of this study is to develop effective and economical assistive technologies for
people with physical disabilities. The novelty in this manuscript is the application of the …

This opinion paper provides an overview of musculoskeletal modeling, revealing insights
into muscle-tendon kinematics, forces, and joint contact forces during dynamic movements …
