Modeling human motor control and predicting how humans will move in novel environments
is a grand scientific challenge. Researchers in the fields of biomechanics and motor control …

High tibial osteotomy becomes increasingly important in the treatment of cartilage damage
or osteoarthritis of the medial compartment with concurrent varus deformity. HTO produces a …

Movement is fundamental to human and animal life, emerging through interaction of
complex neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. Study of movement draws from and …

Musculoskeletal simulations are used in many different applications, ranging from the
design of wearable robots that interact with humans to the analysis of patients with impaired …

Many biomedical, orthopaedic, and industrial applications are emerging that will benefit from
personalized neuromusculoskeletal models. Applications include refined diagnostics …

We explored the tibiofemoral contact forces and the relative contributions of muscles and
external loads to those contact forces during various gait tasks. Second, we assessed the …

Background and objective Musculoskeletal modeling and simulations of movement have
been increasingly used in orthopedic and neurological scenarios, with increased attention to …

The assessment of knee or hip joint loading by external joint moments is mainly used to
draw conclusions on clinical decision making. However, the correlation between internal …

This paper explores the use of biomechanics in identifying the mechanistic causes of
musculoskeletal tissue injury and degeneration. It appraises how biomechanics has been …

The study objective was to investigate the influence of coronal plane alignment and ligament
properties on total knee replacement (TKR) contact loads during walking. We created a …
