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 …

Measures of human movement dynamics can predict outcomes like injury risk or
musculoskeletal disease progression. However, these measures are rarely quantified in …

Both the Hill and the Huxley muscle models had already been described by the time the
International Society of Biomechanics was founded 50 years ago, but had seen little use …

Musculoskeletal simulations are used in many different applications, ranging from the
design of wearable robots that interact with humans to the analysis of patients with impaired …

Locomotion has influenced the ecology, evolution, and extinction of species throughout
history, yet studying locomotion in the fossil record is challenging. Computational …

Physics-based simulations of walking have the theoretical potential to support clinical
decision-making by predicting the functional outcome of treatments in terms of walking …

Repetitive labor-intensive tasks are common in civil construction projects. Construction
workers are prone to getting into musculoskeletal disorders-related injuries while performing …

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

Physics-based predictive simulations have been shown to capture many salient features of
human walking. Yet they often fail to produce realistic stance knee and ankle mechanics …

The arrangement and physiology of muscle fibres can strongly influence musculoskeletal
function and whole-organismal performance. However, experimental investigation of muscle …
