Determining Subject-Specific Lower-Limb Muscle Architecture Data for Musculoskeletal Models Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Subject Specific Inverse Dynamics of the Head and Cervical Spine During in Vivo Dynamic Flexion Extension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Capturing Three Dimensional In Vivo Lumbar Intervertebral Joint Kinematics Using Dynamic Stereo X Ray Imaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Predictions of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Dynamics From Subject-Specific Musculoskeletal Models and Dynamic Biplane Radiography
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
