Background and objective Revealing the complexity behind subject-specific ankle joint
mechanics requires simultaneous analysis of three-dimensional bony and soft-tissue …

The generation of personalised and patient-specific musculoskeletal models is currently a
cumbersome and time-consuming task that normally requires several processing hours and …

Abstract Background and Objective Computer simulations of joint contact mechanics have
great merit to improve our current understanding of articular ankle pathology. Owed to its …

Background Biomechanical simulation of the foot and ankle complex is a growing research
area but compared to simulation of joints such as hip and knee, it has been under …

Historically, conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to morphometrically
evaluate the talocrural joint, which is comprised of the distal tibia, distal fibula, and proximal …

Complementary to experimental studies, computational biomechanics has become useful
tool for the understanding of human foot biomechanics and pathomechanics. Its findings …

Traditionally, two-dimensional conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to
measure the complex morphology of the foot and ankle. However, the subtalar …

Background Accurate geometrical models of bones and cartilage are necessary in
biomechanical modelling of human joints, and in planning and designing of joint …

Discussion With any statistical model there is bound to be a wide variety of shape variation.
As scientists and engineers, we can characterize anatomical shape variations in subsets of …

Abstract Knowledge of the stabilizing role of the ankle and subtalar ligaments is important for
improving clinical techniques such as ligament repair and reconstruction. However, this …
