Introduction Gait analysis is increasingly used to support clinical decision-making regarding
diagnosis and treatment planning for movement disorders. As a key part of gait analysis …

Musculoskeletal modelling is an important platform on which to study the biomechanics of
morphological structures in vertebrates and is widely used in clinical, zoological and …

Hip osteoarthritis may be caused by increased or abnormal intra-articular forces, which are
known to be related to structural articular cartilage damage. Femoral torsional deformities …

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

Overuse injuries imply the occurrence of a repetitive or an increased load on a specific
anatomical segment which is unable to recover from this redundant microtrauma, thus …

Osteophytes are routinely removed during total knee arthroplasty, yet the preoperative
planning currently relies on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans of the patient's …

Tibiofemoral contact loads are crucial parameters in the onset and progression of
osteoarthrosis. While contact loads are frequently estimated from musculoskeletal models …

The mechanical properties of ligaments are important for multiple applications and are often
estimated from laxity tests. However, the typical laxity tests are not optimized for this …

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 …

There remains no established treatment for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), underscoring the
necessity for personalized musculoskeletal models to tailor treatment approaches. In this …
