Musculoskeletal (MS) models should be able to integrate patient-specific MS architecture
and undergo thorough validation prior to their introduction into clinical practice. We present …

Beyond qualitative assessment, gait analysis involves the quantitative evaluation of various
parameters such as joint kinematics, spatiotemporal metrics, external forces, and muscle …

Subject-specific scaling of cadaver-based musculoskeletal models is important for accurate
musculoskeletal analysis within multiple areas such as ergonomics, orthopaedics and …

This article gives an overview of the state of the art in scaling methods of generic Hill-type
muscle model parameters in view of different applications and implementation of …

This paper introduces a general optimisation-based method for identification of
biomechanically relevant parameters in kinematically determinate and over-determinate …

Knowledge about spinal loading is required for designing and preclinical testing of spinal
implants. It is assumed that loading of the spine depends upon body weight and height, as …

When performing inverse dynamic analysis (IDA) of musculoskeletal models to study human
motion, inaccuracies in experimental input data and a mismatch between the model and …

In this paper, a musculo-skeletal model of the upper limb is presented. The limb is modelled
as a three-dimensional 7 degrees-of-freedom system, linked to the shoulder, which has …

Musculoskeletal models may enhance our understanding of the dynamic loading of the
joints during manual material handling. This study used state-of-the-art musculoskeletal …

Musculoskeletal models represent a powerful tool to gain knowledge on the internal forces
acting at the joint level in a non-invasive way. However, these models can present some …
