Humans typically coordinate their muscles to meet movement objectives like minimizing
energy expenditure. In the presence of pathology, new objectives gain importance, like …

Finite element (FE) models have been widely used to investigate knee joint biomechanics.
Most of these models have been developed to study adult knees, neglecting pediatric …

Purpose To systematically review and analyse whether musculoskeletal conditions affect
peripheral joint muscle force control (ie magnitude and/or complexity of force fluctuations) …

Background: Preinjury running biomechanics are an ideal comparator for quantifying
recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR), allowing for …

Excessive loads at lower limb joints can lead to pain and degenerative diseases. Altering
joint loads with muscle coordination retraining might help to treat or prevent clinical …

This study aimed to establish a finite element model that vividly reflected the anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) geometry and investigated the ACL stress distribution under …

Musculoskeletal models enable non-invasive estimation of knee contact forces (KCFs)
during functional movements. However, the redundant nature of the musculoskeletal system …

Muscle-driven simulations have provided valuable insights in studies of walking and
running, but a set of freely available simulations and corresponding experimental data for …

In this chapter, we introduce musculoskeletal modelling and how such models can be
applied to estimate internal quantities that are difficult or impossible to measure …

Implant malalignment has been reported to be a primary reason for revision total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). In addition, altered muscle coordination patterns are commonly observed …
