Noninvasive estimation of joint loads is still an open challenge in biomechanics. Although
musculoskeletal modeling represents a solid resource, multiple improvements are still …

Advanced head and neck cancers involving the mandible often require surgical removal of
the diseased parts and replacement with donor bone or prosthesis to recreate the form and …

The masticatory region is an important human motion system that is essential for basic
human tasks like mastication, speech or swallowing. An association between …

Abnormal mechanical loading is essential in the onset and progression of knee
osteoarthritis. Combined musculoskeletal (MS) and finite element (FE) modeling is a typical …

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is most common in the medial tibial compartment. We present a
novel method to study the effect of gait modifications and lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) on the …

Multibody musculoskeletal modeling of human gait has been proved helpful in investigating
the pathology of musculoskeletal disorders. However, conventional inverse dynamics …

Assessment of mandibular dynamics is essential for examining stomatognathic functions,
and many kinds of stomatognathic diseases, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) …

Musculoskeletal modeling and marker‐based motion capture techniques are commonly
used to quantify the motions of body segments, and the forces acting on them during human …

In this chapter, we introduce musculoskeletal modelling and how such models can be
applied to estimate internal quantities that are difficult or impossible to measure …

Mastication is the motor task with the highest muscle activations of the jaw region, potentially
leading to high temporomandibular joint (TMJ) loading. Since increased loading of the TMJ …
