Abstract: Although wear is known as the primary cause of long-time failure of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it can be vital in short- and midterm TKA failure due to laxity. One of the reasons leading to joint laxity and instability ...

Abstract: Joint compressive forces have been identified as a risk factor for osteoarthritis disease progression. Therefore, unloader braces are a common treatment with the aim of relieving pain, but their effects are not clearly ...

Abstract: Reliably and accurately estimating joint/segmental kinematics from optical motion capture data has remained challenging. Studies objectively characterizing human movement patterns have typically involved inverse kinematics ...

Abstract: Musculoskeletal (MS) models should be able to integrate patientspecific MS architecture and undergo thorough validation prior to their introduction into clinical practice. We present a methodology to develop subjectspecific ...

Abstract: Knowing the forces in the human body is of great clinical interest and musculoskeletal (MS) models are the most commonly used tool to estimate them in vivo. Unfortunately, the process of computing muscle, joint contact, ...
