The assessment of rehabilitation robot safety is a vital aspect of the development process,
which is often experienced as difficult. There are gaps in best practices and knowledge to …

Objective: Musculoskeletal models provide a noninvasive means to study human movement
and predict the effects of interventions on gait. Our goal was to create an open-source 3-D …

Background Running biomechanics is considered an important determinant of running
economy (RE). However, studies examining associations between running biomechanics …

For centuries scientists and technologists have sought artificial leg replacements that fully
capture the versatility of their intact biological counterparts. However, biological gait requires …

Computer models that estimate the force generation capacity of lower limb muscles have
become widely used to simulate the effects of musculoskeletal surgeries and create dynamic …

Objectives To assess the inter-machine reliability of the Biodex System 3 Pro and Cybex
Humac Norm Model 770 dynamometers for knee extensor and knee flexor peak torque …

Abstract Bryanton, MA, Kennedy, MD, Carey, JP, and Chiu, LZF. Effect of squat depth and
barbell load on relative muscular effort in squatting. J Strength Cond Res 26 (10): 2820 …

Using joint actuators to drive the skeletal movements is a common practice in character
animation, but the resultant torque patterns are often unnatural or infeasible for real humans …

Muscles actuate movement by generating forces. The forces generated by muscles are
highly dependent on their fibre lengths, yet it is difficult to measure the lengths over which …

PURPOSE: To investigate the joint-specific contributions to the total lower extremity joint
work during a prolonged fatiguing run. METHODS: Recreational long-distance runners (RR; …
