“…By integrating REBA and 3DSSPP software with subjective questionnaires, their work highlighted the ergonomic challenges and the need for improved support designs to enhance comfort and performance. Finally, Islan et al [IBP*18] provided a comprehensive analysis of the glenohumeral joint dynamics in violinists, employing a multifaceted approach involving the RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) method, CATIA software for geometric modeling, and ANSYS software for FEM analysis. This study enriched the understanding of musculoskeletal strains in musicians, particularly the impact of repetitive movements and prolonged training, offering crucial insights for future ergonomic interventions.…”

Driven by recent advancements in Extended Reality (XR), the hype around the Metaverse, and real‐time computer graphics, the transformation of the performing arts, particularly in digitizing and visualizing musical experiences, is an ever‐evolving landscape. This transformation offers significant potential in promoting inclusivity, fostering creativity, and enabling live performances in diverse settings. However, despite its immense potential, the field of Virtual Instrument Performances (VIP) has remained relatively unexplored due to numerous challenges. These challenges arise from the complex and multi‐modal nature of musical instrument performances, the need for high precision motion capture under occlusions including the intricate interactions between a musician's body and fingers with instruments, the precise synchronization and seamless integration of various sensory modalities, accommodating variations in musicians' playing styles, facial expressions, and addressing instrument‐specific nuances. This comprehensive survey delves into the intersection of technology, innovation, and artistic expression in the domain of virtual instrument performances. It explores musical performance multi‐modal databases and investigates a wide range of data acquisition methods, encompassing diverse motion capture techniques, facial expression recording, and various approaches for capturing audio and MIDI data (Musical Instrument Digital Interface). The survey also explores Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks, with a particular emphasis on the Musical Performance Analysis (MPA) field, and offers an overview of various works in the realm of Musical Instrument Performance Synthesis (MIPS), encompassing recent advancements in generative models. The ultimate aim of this survey is to unveil the technological limitations, initiate a dialogue about the current challenges, and propose promising avenues for future research at the intersection of technology and the arts.

“…Ruggiero et al in [5] presented an FEM simulation of a hip joint prosthesis, and the results were presented in terms of the total deformation and contact pressure of the acetabular polyethylene liner in contact with the femoral head of a hard material. Islán et al [6], in their study, investigated and simulated, with the use of FEM, the behavior of the glenohumeral joint and the rotator cuff of a musician during his workout in repetitive routines, while in [7], the authors used a FEM approach to investigate the loaded behavior of a human shoulder by including also the ligaments (glenohumeral and coracohumeral) and the glenohumeral capsule in the anatomical model. The authors, in their study, obtained an improvement in the meshing process of the 3D model of human articulation by using a tetrahedron with 10 nodes as the mesh elements.…”

“…The authors, in their study, obtained an improvement in the meshing process of the 3D model of human articulation by using a tetrahedron with 10 nodes as the mesh elements. In [6,7], it was also underlined that an important feature of FEM is the mesh type, since it represents the discretization of the virtual domain necessary to transform the continuous body into a finite number of nodes and elements. Since the meshing strategy directly affects the accuracy of the calculated solution, there are some parameters that need to be respected in order to obtain a realistic model with accurate results by using limited computational effort.…”

In biomechanics and orthopedics, finite element modelling allows simulating complex problems, and in the last few years, it has been widely used in many applications, also in the field of biomechanics and biotribology. As is known, one crucial point of FEM (finite element model) is the discretization of the physical domain, and this procedure is called meshing. A well-designed mesh is necessary in order to achieve accurate results with an acceptable computational effort. The aim of this work is to test a finite element model to simulate the dry frictionless contact conditions of a hip joint prosthesis (a femoral head against an acetabular cup) in a soft bearing configuration by comparing the performances of 12 common meshing strategies. In the simulations, total deformation of the internal surface of the cup, contact pressure, and the equivalent von Mises stress are evaluated by using loads and kinematic conditions during a typical gait, obtained from a previous work using a musculoskeletal multibody model. Moreover, accounting for appropriate mesh quality metrics, the results are discussed, underlining the best choice we identified after the large amount of numerical simulations performed.

“…Due to its high mobility, the shoulder is the Human joint that has the most injuries in its tissues [1]. The rotator cuff is formed by the tendons of the subscapular, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and minor rotator cuff muscles that meet at the shoulder joint [2,3]. It is placed in the arch called coracoacromial, constituting the subacromial space with a serous pouch that lubricates the cuff.…”

“…2 Mesh corresponding to the scapula element model of the shoulder joint, glenohumeral, classified as a diarthrosis, of the genus enarthrosis or spheroid is presented. Based on the finite element model made for the case of a violinist [3] they are carried out modifications and improvements that allow us increasing the accuracy of the study and improving the predictive performance of it. This is due to include the ligaments, glenohumeral and coracohumeral, and the glenohumeral-capsule in the anatomical model.…”

Most musculoskeletal injuries occur during the work routines in different areas, due to repetitive and sustained movements, they are often located in the shoulder. For workers in the building sector, the repetitive movements and displacements occur under load and unnatural postures of the shoulder joint. For this reason, this study aims to model in 3D the biological components which form the shoulder joint for the later finite element analysis. Three cases with different loads have been considered for this study. Due to a linear and isotropic joint approach it has been possible to evaluate the tensions in the main components of the shoulders: muscles, tendons and ligaments. The methodology used allowed obtaining an improved mesh of the shoulder joint to analyse real situations with finite element method analysis with applications in the field of sports medicine, work, etc. Furthermore, the simplification adopted for modelling the joint muscles, as 1D elements in the finite element model has made it possible to establish different positions of human joint without mesh again each of the studied positions. The results are consistent with the states of applied loads. In fact, the maximum stresses in bones are in the insertion areas of the ligaments. Due to the static positions of the joint under study, the muscles do not support high stresses. According to the stresses distribution, the maximum values are in the zones of tendons. From the result analysis, it is observed how the stresses distribution in the cartilage area maintains coherence with reality since the maximum stresses appear in the lower half of the cartilage. In this area in which the Humerus-scapula contact is greater, the compression tensions are greater.
