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 …

Musculoskeletal simulation has become an essential tool for understanding human
locomotion and movement disorders. Muscle-actuated simulations require methods that …

As both ordinary and well-trained human motion is mostly planned and controlled
unconsciously by the central nervous system (CNS), human control mechanisms remain …

Musculoskeletal simulations have become an essential tool for surgical planning and
clinical evaluation of movement. Accurate simulations of muscle-tendon paths in …

Featured Application Explicit biomechanical multibody model for the inverse dynamics of
upper limb musculoskeletal systems considering muscle wrapping. Abstract The aim of this …

In this paper, a multibody model was developed in the framework of biotribology of lower
limb artificial joints. The presented algorithm performs the inverse dynamics of …

Muscle wrapping influences its moment arm and alters the dynamic response of the
musculoskeletal system. Conventional musculoskeletal multibody models often simplify …

In this work, we apply discrete variational calculus to the muscle wrapping problem to
simulate musculoskeletal systems. This is the prediction of the action of muscles working …

Muscle wrapping computations are an important feature in musculoskeletal simulations. In
this paper we present a novel Jacobian-based method for line-based muscle-path …
