Abstract: Force analysis of musculoskeletal joint systems is a redundant problem since the number of unknowns exceeds the number of equilibrium and constraint equations. Such a problem has been analyzed ...

Abstract: In muscle force analysis, orientations and moment arms of the muscles about a joint provide essential coefficients in the equilibrium equations. For the determination of these parameters, several ...

Abstract: Since the electrogoniometric method has been justified for the measurement of lower extremity joint motion, a similar device is developed for the measurement of elbow joint and forearm rotations. ...

Abstract: Analytic determination of muscle force across human joints encounters an indeterminate problem. A new optimization approach, based on minimizing the upper bound of muscle stress, is introduced ...

Abstract: The femoral head deteriorates in osteonecrosis. As a consequence of that, the cortical shell of the femoral head can buckle into the cancellous bone supporting it. In order to examine the ...
