“…This added time is even more note-worthy if the imaging tool is not associated with a guidance system, which in turn carries high costs, as it will not be optimized for surgical procedures and will usually require additional personnel to handle the technology. Secondly, despite its reported high accuracy and possibility of acquiring the segment’s kinematics in real-time [ 113 ], camera tracking, specifically, also has an added concern with the accurate placement of the markers in the correct landmarks, creating another level of difficulty that may influence the resulting measurements [ 114 , 115 , 116 ], either by misplacement of the markers or misidentification of the landmarks by the surgeon. Additionally, if the position of the targets shifts during a surgical procedure, or an obstacle blocks the camera’s line-of-sight, the measuring process may be compromised for the remainder of said procedure [ 116 , 117 ].…”

Ensuring precise angle measurement during surgical correction of orientation-related deformities is crucial for optimal postoperative outcomes, yet there is a lack of an ideal commercial solution. Current measurement sensors and instrumentation have limitations that make their use context-specific, demanding a methodical evaluation of the field. A systematic review was carried out in March 2023. Studies reporting technologies and validation methods for intraoperative angular measurement of anatomical structures were analyzed. A total of 32 studies were included, 17 focused on image-based technologies (6 fluoroscopy, 4 camera-based tracking, and 7 CT-based), while 15 explored non-image-based technologies (6 manual instruments and 9 inertial sensor-based instruments). Image-based technologies offer better accuracy and 3D capabilities but pose challenges like additional equipment, increased radiation exposure, time, and cost. Non-image-based technologies are cost-effective but may be influenced by the surgeon’s perception and require careful calibration. Nevertheless, the choice of the proper technology should take into consideration the influence of the expected error in the surgery, surgery type, and radiation dose limit. This comprehensive review serves as a valuable guide for surgeons seeking precise angle measurements intraoperatively. It not only explores the performance and application of existing technologies but also aids in the future development of innovative solutions.

Muscle wrapping influences its moment arm and alters the dynamic response of the musculoskeletal system. Conventional musculoskeletal multibody models often simplify muscle wrapping as the shortest path problem, while these models cannot consider the three-dimensional muscular geometry. In comparison, the finite element description of skeletal muscles using three-dimensional solid element discretization leads to expensive computational costs. This paper established a novel flexible multibody modeling method of muscle wrapping based on absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF), which can simultaneously deal with its fusiform geometry, distributed inertia, and active contractions. The skeletal muscle is discretized by full-parameterized ANCF beam elements with variable cross section. The three-dimensional shape of the muscle belly can be expressed by an explicit function, and its time-dependent change can be captured via the surface-to-surface contact detection algorithm. The muscle stress contains the effect of Hill-type active-passive contractions, muscular fascia hyperelasticity, and volume constancy based on continuum mechanics description. As a validation, a forward dynamics simulation of the sagittal elbow rotation driven by surface electromyography (sEMG) data was performed and compared with literature data and experimental results. The established numerical method provides an efficient analysis tool to describe muscle-bone force transmissions, presenting an approach for understanding the hidden biomechanics during human locomotion and human-machine interactions.

“…Multibody dynamics provides a methodological framework for the representation of complex structural arrangements in crashworthiness, as used in the development of vehicle models for frontal and side impacts [ 11 ]. It also provides accurate and efficient methodologies for the description of the large rigid body motion of the anatomical segments and mechanisms of the ATD [ 12 , 13 ]. However, non-linear finite element methods have an unsurpassed ability to represent all details of the structural deformations being directly linked to geometric modeling software that enables the generation of complex models with simplicity [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Whiplash injuries, mainly located in the neck, are one of the most common injuries resulting from road collisions. These injuries can be particularly challenging to detect, compromising the ability to monitor patients adequately. This work presents the development and validation of a computationally efficient model, called Efficient Neck Model—2D (ENM-2D), capable of simulating the whiplash injury mechanism. ENM-2D is a planar multibody model consisting of several bodies that model the head and neck with the same mass and inertia properties of a male occupant model in the 50th percentile. The damping and non-linear spring parameters of the kinematic joints were identified through a multiobjective optimization process, solved sequentially. The TNO-Human Body Model (TNO-HBM), a validated occupant model for rear impact, was simulated, and its responses were used as a reference for validation purposes. The root mean square (RMS) of the deviations of angular positions of the bodies were used as objective functions, starting from the bottom vertebra to the top, and ending in the head. The sequence was repeated until it converged, ending the optimization process. The identified ENM-2D model could simulate the whiplash injury mechanism kinematics and accurately determine the injury criteria associated with head and neck injuries. It had a relative deviation of 8.3% for the head injury criteria and was 12.5 times faster than the reference model.
