Locomotion results from complex interactions between the central nervous system and the
musculoskeletal system with its many degrees of freedom and muscles. Gaining insight into …

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 …

Objective: Musculoskeletal models provide a noninvasive means to study human movement
and predict the effects of interventions on gait. Our goal was to create an open-source 3-D …

Computational modeling and simulation of neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) systems enables
researchers and clinicians to study the complex dynamics underlying human and animal …

Computer models that estimate the force generation capacity of lower limb muscles have
become widely used to simulate the effects of musculoskeletal surgeries and create dynamic …

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 …

This paper examined if an electromyography (EMG) driven musculoskeletal model of the
human knee could be used to predict knee moments, calculated using inverse dynamics …

Current understanding of how muscles coordinate walking in humans is derived from
analyses of body motion, ground reaction force and EMG measurements. This is Part I of a …

Methods Whole body kinematics, EMG activities and ground reactions were collected as 12
subjects ran on an instrumented treadmill at speeds ranging from 80% to maximum …

The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of speed and influence of individual
muscles on hamstring stretch, loading, and work during the swing phase of sprinting. We …
