The ultimate goal of most neuromusculoskeletal modeling research is to improve the
treatment of movement impairments. However, even though neuromusculoskeletal models …

A musculoskeletal (MSK) model is a valuable tool for assessing complex biomechanical
problems, estimating joint torques during motion, optimizing motion in sports, and designing …

Post-stroke patients present various gait abnormalities such as drop foot, stiff-knee gait
(SKG), and knee hyperextension. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) improves drop foot …

Direct multiple shooting (DMS) and direct collocation (DC) are two standard transcription
methods for solving optimal control problems (OCP) in biomechanics and robotics. They …

With the widespread implementation of robotics exoskeletons in rehabilitation, modeling and
dynamics analysis of such highly nonlinear coupled systems has become significantly …

Predictive simulations of human motion are a precious resource for a deeper understanding
