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 …

Hill-type muscle models are highly preferred as phenomenological models for
musculoskeletal simulation studies despite their introduction almost a century ago. The use …

The intersection of paleontology and biomechanics can be reciprocally illuminating, helping
to improve paleobiological knowledge of extinct species and furthering our understanding of …

Optical motion capture is an essential tool for the study and analysis of human movement.
Currently, most manufacturers of motion-capture systems provide software applications for …

Objective: the purpose of this paper is to propose an optimal control problem formulation to
estimate subject-specific Hill model muscle–tendon (MT-) parameters of the knee joint …

Mathematical models and computer simulations have the great potential to substantially
increase our understanding of the biophysical behavior of the neuromuscular system. This …

Significant trends in the vehicle industry are autonomous driving, micromobility,
electrification and the increased use of shared mobility solutions. These new vehicle …

Skeletal muscles usually wrap over multiple anatomical features, and their mass moves
along the curved muscle paths during human locomotion. However, existing …

Muscle wrapping geometry has a major impact on the muscle force as well as the torque
onto the joint exerted by this muscle since these torques highly depend on the muscle's line …

This paper presents a novel fiber-based muscle model for the forward dynamics of the
musculoskeletal system. While bones are represented by rigid bodies, the muscles are …
