The critical clinical and scientific insights achieved through knowledge of in vivo
musculoskeletal soft tissue strains has motivated the development of relevant measurement …

The objective of this study is to estimate the, probably correlated, ligament material
properties and attachment sites in a highly non-linear, musculoskeletal knee model based …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failures are often attributed to unbalanced knee ligament
loading. The current study aims to develop a probabilistic planning process to optimize …

Pedestrians are likely to experience walking before accidents. The walking process imposes
cyclic loading on knee ligaments and increases knee joint temperature. Both cyclic loading …

Current ultrasound techniques face several challenges to measure strains when translated
from large tendon to in-situ knee collateral ligament applications, despite the potential to …

In vivo knee ligament forces are important to consider for informing rehabilitation or clinical
interventions. However, they are difficult to directly measure during functional activities …

There is increasing evidence that tendons are heterogeneous and take advantage of
structural mechanisms to enhance performance and reduce injury. Fascicle-sliding, for …

Ultrasound-based ligament strain estimation shows promise in non-invasively assessing
knee joint collateral ligament behavior and improving ligament balancing procedures …

Recent first attempts of in situ ultrasound strain imaging in collateral ligaments encountered
a number of challenges and illustrated a clear need for additional studies and more …

Objective Ultrasound speckle tracking enables in vivo measurement of soft tissue
deformation or strain, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool to quantify tissue health …
