OpenSim: Open-Source Software to Create and Analyze Dynamic Simulations of Movement

TL;DR: OpenSim is developed, a freely available, open-source software system that lets users develop models of musculoskeletal structures and create dynamic simulations of a wide variety of movements to simulate the dynamics of individuals with pathological gait and to explore the biomechanical effects of treatments.

Gait analysis using wearable sensors.

TL;DR: The gait analysis methods based on wearable sensors is divided into gait kinematics, gait kinetics, and electromyography, which are expected to play an increasingly important role in clinical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Model-based estimation of muscle forces exerted during movements

TL;DR: Clinical applications of current research should be encouraged, supported by further development of computational tools and research into new algorithms for muscle force estimation and their validation.

Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling: Estimation of Muscle Forces and Joint Moments and Movements From Measurements of Neural Command

TL;DR: The focus of this paper is on the details involved in the first two steps of forward dynamic neuromusculoskeletal modeling, since these are the most challenging to the biomechanician.

Muscle contributions to propulsion and support during running

TL;DR: A three-dimensional muscle-actuated simulation of the running gait cycle reveals that the quadriceps and plantarflexors are the major contributors to acceleration of the body mass center during running.

Muscle and tendon: properties, models, scaling, and application to biomechanics and motor control

TL;DR: Their integrated ability to generate force statically and dynamically is studied by formulating a generic model of the "musculotendon actuator", which has only one parameter, the ratio of tendon length at rest to muscle fiberlength at rest.

The variation in isometric tension with sarcomere length in vertebrate muscle fibres.

TL;DR: The variation of isometric tetanus tension with sarcomere length in single fibres from frog striated muscle has been re‐investigated with special precautions to ensure uniformity of sarcomeres length within the part of the fibre being studied.

Measurement of lower extremity kinematics during level walking

TL;DR: The relatively small number of body surface markers used in the VICON system render it easy to implement for use in routine clinical gait evaluations and should be a useful reference for describing and comparing pathologic gait patterns.

An interactive graphics-based model of the lower extremity to study orthopaedic surgical procedures

TL;DR: A model is developed of the human lower extremity to study how changes in musculoskeletal geometry and musculotendon parameters affect muscle force and its moment about the joints and the joint moments calculated with the model compare well with experimentally measured isometric joint moments.
