Journal ArticleDOI
A finite element musculoskeletal model of the shoulder mechanism
TL;DR: A detailed model of the shoulder mechanism has been developed which provides good insight into the function of morphological structures and is concluded that the optimum muscle length and force-length relationship are unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shoulder function: the perfect compromise between mobility and stability.
TL;DR: In this review factors influencing stability and mobility and their consequences for strength are discussed, with special attention to the effects of morphology, muscle function and sensory information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Requirements for upper extremity motions during activities of daily living.
TL;DR: This study shows a suitable method to describe range of motion and activities of daily living and can serve as a starting point for developing a database on how activities ofdaily living are performed in a larger population and which joint angles are required to perform these tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertia and muscle contraction parameters for musculoskeletal modelling of the shoulder mechanism.
TL;DR: To develop a musculoskeletal model of the shoulder mechanism, both shoulders of seven cadavers were measured to obtain a complete set of parameters and the results for inertia and muscle contraction parameters as prerequisities for modelling are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the kinematic and dynamic behavior of the shoulder mechanism
TL;DR: The model provides good insight into the mechanics of the shoulder mechanism and enables an analysis of the function of morphological structures and it is concluded that EMG amplitude cannot be used for validation of complex musculoskeletal models.
