The coordination of the human musculoskeletal system is deeply influenced by its redundant
structure, in both kinematic and dynamic terms. Noticing a lack of a relevant, thorough …

The central nervous system of humans and other animals modulates spinal cord activity to
achieve several locomotion behaviors. Previous neuromechanical models investigated the …

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common knee injuries. The ACL
reconstruction surgery aims to restore healthy knee function by replacing the injured ligament …

This work presents a framework for computing the limbs’ stiffness using inverse methods
that account for the musculoskeletal redundancy effects. The musculoskeletal task, joint and …

Objective: This paper proposes an operational task space formalization of constrained
musculoskeletal systems, motivated by its promising results in the field of robotics. Methods: The …

This study presents a semi-automatic framework to create subject-specific total knee replacement
finite element models, which can be used to analyze locomotion patterns and evaluate …

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) constitutes one of the most important stabilizing tissues
of the knee joint whose rapture is very prevalent. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) from a graft is …

This study aims to explore the possibility of estimating a multitude of kinematic and dynamic
quantities using subject-specific musculoskeletal models in real-time. The framework was …

Objective. Studying the neural components regulating movement in human locomotion is
obstructed by the inability to perform invasive experimental recording in the human neural …

The development of personalized finite element models of the knee anatomy is critically
important in the simulation of knee joint mechanics, prediction of optimal treatments in cases of …
