Background Musculoskeletal modelling is a common means by which to non-invasively
analyse movement. Such models have largely been used to observe function in both healthy …

Over the past decades, the use of computational physics-based models representative of the
musculoskeletal (MSK) system has become increasingly popular in many fields of clinically …

Background Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease affecting the hip and knee joint and
is characterized by load-mediated pain and decreased quality of life. Dependent on involved …

Compressive knee joint contact force during walking is thought to be related to initiation and
progression of knee osteoarthritis. However, joint loading is often evaluated with surrogate …

Though gait asymmetry is used as a metric of functional recovery in clinical rehabilitation,
there is no consensus on an ideal method for its evaluation. Various methods have been …

Abstract Purpose of Review We review the literature on hip fracture mechanics and models
of hip strain during exercise to postulate the exercise regimen for best promoting hip …

Pivoting sports expose athletes to a high risk of knee injuries, mainly due to mechanical
overloading of the joint which shatters overall tissue integrity. The present study explored the …

Background Lower limb malalignment in the frontal plane is one of the major causes of
developing knee osteoarthritis. Growing children can be treated by temporary …

Younger patients increasingly receive total hip arthroplasty (THA) as therapy for end-stage
osteoarthritis. To maintain the long-term success of THA in such patients, avoiding extremely …

Patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis show a characteristic gait pattern in which they
unload the affected leg and overload the unaffected leg. Information on the gait …
