Several opensource or commercially available software platforms are widely used to
develop dynamic simulations of movement. While computational approaches are …

Movement is fundamental to human and animal life, emerging through interaction of
complex neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. Study of movement draws from and …

Movement science is driven by observation, but observation alone cannot elucidate
principles of human and animal movement. Biomechanical modeling and computer …

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

Dynamic simulations of movement allow one to study neuromuscular coordination, analyze
athletic performance, and estimate internal loading of the musculoskeletal system …

Computation of muscle excitation patterns that produce coordinated movements of muscle-
actuated dynamic models is an important and challenging problem. Using dynamic …

Muscle-driven simulations of human and animal motion are widely used to complement
physical experiments for studying movement dynamics. Musculotendon models are an …

Objective: Current clinical biomechanics involves lengthy data acquisition and time-
consuming offline analyses with biomechanical models not operating in real-time for man …

Abstract Existing “off-the-shelf” musculoskeletal models are problematic when simulating
movements that involve substantial hip and knee flexion, such as the upstroke of pedalling …

Numerical simulations play an important role in solving complex engineering problems and
