BACKGROUND: Many models of cervical disc prostheses are currently commercially
available or under clinical trial, and are based on several design concepts and built …

This paper presents a discretised musculoskeletal multi-body spine model using the
LifeMOD Biomechanics Modeller. This was obtained by refining spine segments in cervical …

In this paper, the construction of a detailed spine model is presented using the LifeMOD
Biomechanics Modeler. The detailed spine model is obtained by refining spine segments in …

Patients sitting in a wheelchair may spend hours in a relatively fixed position, with their lower
back forced away from its natural lordotic curvature. This prolonged sitting was reported to …

A detailed three-dimensional solid model of the full cervical spine (C1–C7 levels) and the
finite element analysis method were used to investigate the extent of changes in various …

The human cervical spine supports substantial compressive load in vivo. However, the
traditional in vitro testing methods rarely include compressive loads, especially in …

Mechatronics are occasionally inspired by nature for joint designs in order to exploit the
advantages of the biological ones in terms of mobility and articulation. Within this context …

The purpose of this study was to establish a multi-segment dynamic model in the LifeMOD to
examine kinematics of the center of mass and foot, and muscle forces of selected upper …

LifeMOD™ is a set of commonly used simulation software. It might generate the
biomechanics data because of the parameter hypothesis and the various parameter …

Earlier efforts in areas of hip and knee arthroplasties suggest that wear debris, could initiate
inflammatory responses leading to peri-prosthetic osteolysis and bone resorption at the …
