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 …

The assessment of knee or hip joint loading by external joint moments is mainly used to
draw conclusions on clinical decision making. However, the correlation between internal …

Objective: Musculoskeletal models provide a noninvasive means to study human movement
and predict the effects of interventions on gait. Our goal was to create an open-source 3-D …

Musculoskeletal (MS) models should be able to integrate patient-specific MS architecture
and undergo thorough validation prior to their introduction into clinical practice. We present …

The aim of this study was to assess the validity and test-retest reliability of an inertial
measurement unit (IMU) system for gait analysis. Twenty-four healthy subjects conducted a …

Locomotion through the environment is important because movement provides access to
key resources, including food, shelter and mates. Central to many locomotion-focused …

The geometrical representation of muscles in computational models of the musculoskeletal
system typically consists of a series of line segments. These muscle anatomies are based on …

Multi-scale simulations, combining muscle and joint contact force (JCF) from
musculoskeletal simulations with adaptive mechanobiological finite element analysis, allow …

When performing inverse dynamic analysis (IDA) of musculoskeletal models to study human
motion, inaccuracies in experimental input data and a mismatch between the model and …

The generation of subject-specific musculoskeletal models of the lower limb has become a
feasible task thanks to improvements in medical imaging technology and musculoskeletal …
