Multibody kinematics optimization (MKO) aims to reduce soft tissue artefact (STA) and is a
key step in musculoskeletal modeling. The objective of this review was to identify the …

Exoskeleton robots, which range from fully passive to fully active-assisted movements, have
become an essential instrument for assisting industrial employees and stroke rehabilitation …

Soft tissue artefact (STA), ie the motion of the skin, fat and muscles gliding on the underlying
bone, may lead to a marker position error reaching up to 8.7 cm for the particular case of the …

Optical motion capture is an essential tool for the study and analysis of human movement.
Currently, most manufacturers of motion-capture systems provide software applications for …

(1) Background: Motion planning is an important part of exoskeleton control that improves
the wearer's safety and comfort. However, its usage introduces the problem of trajectory …

In this survey, we review the field of human shoulder functional kinematic representations.
The central question of this review is to evaluate whether the current approaches in shoulder …

Over the past decade, computational neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) modeling and simulation
of human movement, including effects of musculoskeletal geometries, multibody dynamics …

Recent studies have shown the ability of transhumeral amputees to generate surface
electromyography (sEMG) patterns associated to distinct phantom limb movements of the …

Few musculoskeletal models are available to assess shoulder deeper muscle demand
during overhead lifting tasks. Our objective was to implement a musculoskeletal model to …
