The knee joint is a complex mechanical system, and computational modelling can provide
vital information for the prediction of disease progression and of the potential for therapeutic …

Objective To evaluate 1) the relationship between the knee contact force (KCF) and knee
adduction and flexion moments (KAM and KFM) during normal gait in people with medial …

Finite element (FE) models have been widely used to investigate knee joint biomechanics.
Most of these models have been developed to study adult knees, neglecting pediatric …

Conventional biomechanical modelling approaches involve the solution of large systems of
equations that encode the complex mathematical representation of human motion and …

Abnormal mechanical loading is essential in the onset and progression of knee
osteoarthritis. Combined musculoskeletal (MS) and finite element (FE) modeling is a typical …

Background The knee adduction moment (KAM) is often elevated in medial knee
osteoarthritis (KOA). The aim of this study was to evaluate effects on KAM and patient …

Menisci are fibrocartilaginous disks consisting of soft tissue with a complex biomechanical
structure. They are critical determinants of the kinematics as well as the stability of the knee …

Joint tissue mechanics (eg, stress and strain) are believed to have a major involvement in
the onset and progression of musculoskeletal disorders, eg, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) …

Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) incidence has increased among badminton players in recent
years. The foot internal stress was hard to obtain through experimental testing. The purpose …

In this chapter, we introduce musculoskeletal modelling and how such models can be
applied to estimate internal quantities that are difficult or impossible to measure …
