Analysis of dynamic strains in tibia during human locomotion based on flexible multibody approach integrated with magnetic resonance imaging technique

Merge of motion analysis, multibody dynamics and finite element method for the subject-specific analysis of cartilage loading patterns during gait: differences between rotation and moment-driven models of human knee joint

“…These forces can be determined using contraction or joint rotation patterns computed via inverse dynamics [13]. Furthermore, we can factor bone flexibility into the analysis [14,15]. In turn, the role of bone geometry and subchondral bone changes on OA development can be studied [16].…”

Effect of innervation zones in estimating biceps brachii force–EMG relationship during isometric contraction

“…The optimisation procedures, in turn, introduce error into the muscle force estimates. Another feasible approach for estimating muscle forces indirectly is electromyography (EMG) (Disselhorst-Klug et al, 2009;Staudenmann et al, 2010), which has actually been used to validate inverse kinematics based muscular force estimates in musculoskeletal models (Anderson et al, 1996;Nazer et al, 2008). Furthermore, representing muscle activation and ensuing muscular force production with EMG has meaningful applications in clinical practice e.g., in controlling prostheses (Triolo and Moskowitz, 1989) and during rehabilitation (Holtermann et al, 2010).…”

Estimating Lower Limb Skeletal Loading

“…the femoral neck). The floating frame of reference method with modal coordinates has been successfully applied in modelling tibial and femoral bone strains during walking Nazer et al, 2011;Nazer, Klodowski, Rantalainen, Heinonen, Sievänen & Mikkola, 2008;. When looking at femoral neck strain estimates and tibial mid-shaft strain estimates it may be seen that the timing of peak strains differ between these two bone sites.…”
