Kinematic models of lower limb joints have several potential applications in musculoskeletal
modelling of the locomotion apparatus, including the reproduction of the natural joint motion …

BACKGROUND: To assist in the treatment of gait disorders, an inverse and forward 3D
musculoskeletal model of the lower extremity will be useful that allows to evaluate if–then …

Most clinical gait laboratories use the conventional gait analysis model. This model uses a
computational method called Direct Kinematics (DK) to calculate joint kinematics. In contrast …

This paper presents a new method to estimate both musculo-tendon forces and detailed
joint reactions during gait, using an original 3D lower limb musculo-skeletal model with 5 …

Sensitivity analysis is a typical part of biomechanical models evaluation. For lower limb multi-
body models, sensitivity analyses have been mainly performed on musculoskeletal …

When skin-fixed marker trajectories are used to calculate 3D joint kinematics, the
measurement errors (ie the difference between the trajectories of the external markers and …

Several full body musculoskeletal models have been developed for research applications
and these models may potentially be developed into useful clinical tools to assess gait …

Musculoskeletal modelling is a methodology used to investigate joint contact forces during a
movement. High accuracy in the estimation of the hip or knee joint contact forces can be …

A variety of musculoskeletal models are applied in different modelling environments for
estimating muscle forces during gait. Influence of different modelling assumptions and …

In order to obtain the lower limb kinematics from skin-based markers, the soft tissue artefact
(STA) has to be compensated. Global optimization (GO) methods rely on a predefined …
