Detailed knowledge of the in vivo loading and kinematics in the knee joint is essential to
understand its normal functions and the aetiology of osteoarthritis. Computer models provide …

Lower extremity musculoskeletal computational models play an important role in predicting
joint forces and muscle activation simultaneously and are valuable for investigating …

Obtaining tibio-femoral (TF) contact forces, ligament deformations and loads during daily life
motor tasks would be useful to better understand the aetiopathogenesis of knee joint …

The study objective was to construct and validate a subject-specific knee model that can
simulate full six degree of freedom tibiofemoral and patellofemoral joint behavior in the …

Using a validated finite element model of the intact knee joint we aim to compute muscle
forces and joint response in the stance phase of gait. The model is driven by reported in vivo …

Multibody dynamic musculoskeletal models capable of predicting muscle forces and joint
contact pressures simultaneously would be valuable for studying clinical issues related to …

Background and objective The dynamic characteristics of the intact knee joint are valuable
for treating knee osteoarthritis and designing knee prostheses. However, it remains a …

A robust protocol for building subject-specific biomechanical models of the human knee joint
is proposed which uses magnetic resonance imaging, motion analysis and force platform …
