Multibody kinematics optimization (MKO) aims to reduce soft tissue artefact (STA) and is a
key step in musculoskeletal modeling. The objective of this review was to identify the …

A biofidelic multibody model of the upper limb for the quantitative assessment of joint
kinematics and dynamics has the potential to become an innovative tool in many application …

Computer simulation and optimal control requiring actual joint kinematics and based on the
definition of a chain model become more used in biomechanics for studying the musculo …

This paper describes and evaluates a parallel mechanism of the shoulder girdle. This
mechanism was a closed kinematic chain composed of three segments (humerus, scapula …

The inverse dynamics is a classic problem to be solved in gait analysis. The solution is the
vector of joint reactions and driving actions which is essential to perform a kinetic analysis of …

When estimating full-body motion from experimental data, inverse kinematics followed by
inverse dynamics does not guarantee dynamical consistency of the resulting motion …

Local and global optimization algorithms have been developed to estimate joint kinematics
to reducing soft movement artifact (STA). Such algorithms can include weightings to account …

This paper presents a new method to estimate both musculo-tendon forces and detailed
joint reactions during gait, using an original 3D lower limb musculo-skeletal model with 5 …

This paper proposes a general method for driving kinematics by distances and more
specifically for controlling kinematically articulated systems. Unlike traditional approaches …

Human movement reconstruction is still difficult due to noise generated by the use of skin
markers. The a priori definition of a kinematic chain associated with a global optimisation …
