[Purpose] Gluteus medius syndrome is one of the major causes of back pain or leg pain and
is similar to greater trochanteric pain syndrome, which also presents with back pain or leg …

Background and objective Musculoskeletal modeling and simulations of movement have
been increasingly used in orthopedic and neurological scenarios, with increased attention to …

Background Exercise-based approaches have been a cornerstone of physiotherapy
management of knee osteoarthritis for many years. However, clinical effects are considered …

We implemented direct collocation on a full-body neuromusculoskeletal model to calculate
muscle forces, ground reaction forces and knee contact loading simultaneously for one cycle …

Musculoskeletal models enable non-invasive estimation of knee contact forces (KCFs)
during functional movements. However, the redundant nature of the musculoskeletal system …

This study evaluated the association of contact point locations with the knee medial and
lateral contact force (Fmed, Flat) alterations in OA and healthy subjects. A musculoskeletal …

Background: Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis may occur after anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The mechanisms underpinning the development of PFJ …

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of knee pain, leading to physical dysfunction.
External knee adduction moment (KAM), a surrogate measure of knee contact force (KCF) in …

The main objective of this study was to determine which muscle force reduction, among the
vastus muscles (VAS), rectus femoris (RF), gluteus medius (Gmed), and gluteus maximus …

Objective To investigate knee contact forces (KCFs), and their relationships with knee pain,
across grades of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) severity. Design Cross-sectional …
