Musculoskeletal modelling is a methodology used to investigate joint contact forces during a
movement. High accuracy in the estimation of the hip or knee joint contact forces can be …

Knee contact force (KCF) is an important factor to evaluate the knee joint function for the
patients with knee joint impairment. However, the KCF measurement based on the …

Musculoskeletal models permit the determination of internal forces acting during dynamic
movement, which is clinically useful, but traditional methods may suffer from slowness and a …

Background Bone shapes strongly influence force and moment predictions of kinematic and
musculoskeletal models used in motion analysis. The precise determination of joint …

Accurate muscle geometry for musculoskeletal models is important to enable accurate
subject-specific simulations. Commonly, linear scaling is used to obtain individualised …

Objective: The accuracy of a musculoskeletal model relies heavily on the implementation of
the underlying anatomical dataset. Linear scaling of a generic model, despite being time …

Understanding the sources of error is critical before models of the musculoskeletal system
can be usefully translated. Using in vivo measured tibiofemoral forces, the impact of …

Ground reaction forces and moments (GRFs and GRMs) measured from force plates in a
gait laboratory are usually used as the input conditions to predict the knee joint forces and …

Background: Quantifying in vivo hip muscle and contact forces during activities of daily living
(ADL) provides valuable information for diagnosis and treatment of hip-related disorders …

Amputation imposes significant challenges in locomotion to millions of people with limb loss
worldwide. The decline in the use of the residual limb results in muscle atrophy that affects …
