The use of finite element models as research tools in biomechanics and orthopedics has
grown exponentially over the last 20 years. However, the attention to mesh quality, model …

This review describes how computational modeling can be combined with noninvasive gait
measurements to describe and explain muscle and joint function in human locomotion. Five …

The topics of verification and validation have increasingly been discussed in the field of
computational biomechanics, and many recent articles have applied these concepts in an …

Our objectives were to determine cartilage contact stress during walking, stair climbing, and
descending stairs in a well‐defined group of normal volunteers and to assess variations in …

The relatively high incidence of labral tears among patients presenting with hip pain
suggests that the acetabular labrum is often subjected to injurious loading in vivo. However …

In recent years, fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are becoming increasingly attractive for sensing
applications in biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering due to their advantageous …

Background Acetabular dysplasia is a major predisposing factor for development of hip
osteoarthritis (OA), and may result from alterations to chondrolabral loading. Subject-specific …

Computational models may have the ability to quantify the relationship between hip
morphology, cartilage mechanics and osteoarthritis. Most models have assumed the hip …

Isotropic hyperelastic models have been used to determine the material properties of normal
human cartilage, but there remains an incomplete understanding of how these properties …

We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific
modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue …
