Abstract: A dataset of knee kinematics in healthy, uninjured adults is needed to serve as a reference for comparison when evaluating the effects of injury, surgery, rehabilitation, and age. Most currently available datasets that ...

Abstract: Dynamic biplane radiographic (DBR) imaging measures continuous vertebral motion during in vivo, functional tasks with submillimeter accuracy, offering the potential to develop novel biomechanical markers for lower back ...

Abstract: Accurate individualized muscle architecture data are crucial for generating subject-specific musculoskeletal models to investigate movement and dynamic muscle function. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance ...

Abstract: The effects of degeneration and surgery on cervical spine mechanics are commonly evaluated through in vitro testing and finite element models derived from these tests. The objectives of the current study were to estimate ...

Abstract: Availability of accurate threedimensional (3D) kinematics of lumbar vertebrae is necessary to understand normal and pathological biomechanics of the lumbar spine. Due to the technical challenges of imaging the lumbar spine ...

Abstract: In vivo knee ligament forces are important to consider for informing rehabilitation or clinical interventions. However, they are difficult to directly measure during functional activities. Musculoskeletal models and ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify side-to-side and sex-based differences in hip kinematics during a unilateral step-up from deep flexion. Twelve (eight men, four women) asymptomatic young adults performed a step ...
