Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are one of the most common knee pathologies
sustained during athletic participation and are characterised by long convalescence periods …

Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into
neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and …

The intuitive control of upper-limb prostheses requires a man/machine interface that directly
exploits biological signals. Here, we define and experimentally test an offline man/machine …

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

Muscles actuate running by developing forces that propel the body forward while supporting
the body's weight. To understand how muscles contribute to propulsion (ie, forward …

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

Research Methods in Biomechanics, Second Edition, demonstrates the range of available
research techniques and how to best apply this knowledge to ensure valid data collection. In …

Mechanical analysis of movement plays an important role in clinical management of
neurological and orthopedic conditions. There has been increasing interest in performing …
