Computer models of the musculoskeletal system are broadly used to study the mechanisms
of musculoskeletal disorders and to simulate surgical treatments. Musculoskeletal models …

Muscle activation produces increases in magnetic resonance (T 2) signal intensity leading to
recruitment images that demonstrate spatial patterns and intensity of muscle activation …

Dynamic simulations of movement allow one to study neuromuscular coordination, analyze
athletic performance, and estimate internal loading of the musculoskeletal system …

Biomechanical models of the musculoskeletal system are frequently used to study
neuromuscular control and simulate surgical procedures. To be broadly applicable, a model …

Almost all computer models of the musculoskeletal system represent muscle geometry using
a series of line segments. This simplification (i) limits the ability of models to accurately …

Reconstructive hand surgeries restore key pinch to individuals with pinch force deficits
caused by tetraplegia. Data that define the magnitudes of force necessary to complete …

Musculoskeletal modelling is an important platform on which to study the biomechanics of
morphological structures in vertebrates and is widely used in clinical, zoological and …

BACKGROUND: Despite surgical advances, repair of rotator cuff tears is associated with 20–
70% incidence of recurrent tearing. The tension required to repair the torn tendon influences …

The current rationale of clinical practice in spastic tendon transfer surgery is based on four
assumptions:(1) changes in muscle fiber length (serial number of sarcomeres) determine the …

Background: Transfer of the tendon of the brachioradialis muscle to the tendon of the flexor
pollicis longus restores lateral pinch function after cervical spinal cord injury. However, the …
