The 21 muscles that cross the hip provide both triplanar movement and stability between the
femur and acetabulum. The primary intent of this clinical commentary is to review and …

Background Sarcopenia might function as an indicator for frailty, and as such as a risk factor
for the development of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to meta …

A new musculoskeletal model for the lumbar spine is described in this paper. This model
features a rigid pelvis and sacrum, the five lumbar vertebrae, and a rigid torso consisting of a …

There is currently no validated full-body lifting model publicly available on the OpenSim
modelling platform to estimate spinal loads during lifting. In this study, the existing full-body …

Abstract Background Context Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is one of the major
complications after lumbar fusion. Several studies have evaluated the risk factors of ASD …

In the panorama of available musculoskeletal modeling software, AnyBody software is a
commercial tool that provides a full body musculoskeletal model which is increasingly …

Numerical models of the musculoskeletal system as investigative tools are an integral part of
biomechanical and clinical research. While finite element modeling is primarily suitable for …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the cross-sectional area (CSA) of both
paraspinal and psoas muscles in patients with unilateral back pain using MRI and to …

Objective Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is multifactorial in nature, with recent research
highlighting the role of multifidus dysfunction in a subset of nonspecific CLBP. This review …

Abstract Numerous spine Finite Element (FE) models have been developed to assess spinal
tolerances, spinal loadings and low back pain-related issues. However, justified …
