The use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) has gained popularity for the estimation of
lower limb kinematics. However, implementations in clinical practice are still lacking. The …

The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

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 …

Computational modelling is an invaluable tool for investigating features of human
locomotion and motor control which cannot be measured except through invasive …

In biomechanical simulations, generic linearly scaled musculoskeletal anatomies are
commonly used to represent children, often neglecting or oversimplifying subject-specific …

A major shortcoming in kinematic estimation using skin-attached inertial sensors is the
alignment of sensor-embedded and segment-embedded coordinate systems. Only a correct …

Ligaments are important joint stabilizers but assessing their mechanical properties remain
challenging. We developed a methodology to investigate the effects of kinematic …

Musculoskeletal (MS) models can be used to study the muscle, ligament, and joint
mechanics of natural knees. However, models that both capture subject-specific geometry …

Accurate and reliable information about three-dimensional (3D) knee joint laxity can prevent
misdiagnosis and avoid incorrect treatments. Nevertheless, knee laxity assessments …

Laxity tests are performed to diagnose ligament injuries or to estimate subject-specific
ligament properties. While the current laxity tests are easy to perform, they are not optimized …
