Background: The role of multifidus in the biomechanics of lumbar spine remained unclear.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the role of multifidus in the modeling of lumbar …

Excessive loads at lower limb joints can lead to pain and degenerative diseases. Altering
joint loads with muscle coordination retraining might help to treat or prevent clinical …

Estimating kinematics from optical motion capture with skin-mounted markers, referred to as
an inverse kinematic (IK) calculation, is the most common experimental technique in human …

Gait asymmetry and skeletal deformities are common in many children with cerebral palsy
(CP). Changes of the hip joint loading, ie hip joint contact force (HJCF), can lead to …

Little is known about the influence of mechanical loading on growth plate stresses and
femoral growth. A multi-scale workflow based on musculoskeletal simulations and …

Orthopedic complications were previously reported for patients with increased femoral
anteversion. A more comprehensive analysis of the influence of increased femoral …

Femoral deformities, eg increased or decreased femoral anteversion (AVA) and neck-shaft
angle (NSA), can lead to pathological gait patterns, altered joint loads, and degenerative …

Toe-walking characterizes several neuromuscular conditions and is associated with a
reduction in gait stability and efficiency, as well as in life quality. The optimal choice of …

Creating musculoskeletal models in a paediatric population currently involves either
creating an image-based model from medical imaging data or a generic model using linear …

Full-length radiographs contain information from which many anatomical parameters of the
pelvis, femur, and tibia may be derived, but only a few anatomical parameters are used for …
