This work reviews the main techniques to model dynamical systems with contact-impact
events. Regularized and non-smooth formulations are considered, wherein the fundamental …

The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Estimation of joint torque during movement provides important information in several
settings, such as effect of athletes' training or of a medical intervention, or analysis of the …

Over the past half-century, musculoskeletal simulations have deepened our knowledge of
human and animal movement. This article outlines ten steps to becoming a musculoskeletal …

Numerical models of the musculoskeletal system as investigative tools are an integral part of
biomechanical and clinical research. While finite element modeling is primarily suitable for …

Over the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in applications of multibody system
dynamics to the predictive simulation of human movement. Using predictive “what-if” human …

Trajectory optimization with musculoskeletal models can be used to reconstruct measured
movements and to predict changes in movements in response to environmental changes. It …

Background: Chronic back pain is a major health problem worldwide. Although its causes
can be diverse, biomechanical factors leading to spinal degeneration are considered a …

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

In this work, we predicted ankle joint torque by combining a neuromusculoskeletal (NMS)
solver-informed artificial neural network (hybrid-ANN) model with transfer learning based on …
