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 …

This investigation is the first contribution of a two-part research work concerning the
theoretical development of a multibody approach to analyze the constrained dynamics of …

This paper represents the second contribution of a two-part research work presenting the
application of the proposed multibody analysis approach to bicycle systems and the relative …

The role of patella height is discussed controversially in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Therefore, this computational study aims to systematically analyze the biomechanical effect …

The human system consists of bones, skeletal muscles, and joints, so the system model in
mechanics is a typical flexible multi-body system. The study on musculoskeletal multi-body …

Femoral bone loss due to stress and strain shielding is a common problem in hip resurfacing
arthroplasty (HRA), which arises from the different stiffness of implant materials and the …

Patellofemoral (PF) disorders are considered a major clinical complication after total knee
replacement (TKR). Malpositioning and design of the patellar component impacts knee joint …

Nowadays, several configurations of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants are commercially
available whose designs resulted from clinical and biomechanical considerations. Previous …

The complicated interplay of total knee replacement (TKR) positioning and patient-specific
soft tissue conditions still causes a considerable number of unsatisfactory outcomes …

Recently, coupled musculoskeletal-finite element modelling approaches have emerged as a
way to investigate femoral neck loading during various daily activities. Combining …
