RISComputationally Efficient Finite Element Evaluation of Natural Patellofemoral Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Finite element methods have been applied to evaluate in vivo joint behavior, new devices, and surgical techniques but have typically been applied to a small or single subject cohort. Anatomic ...
Comparison of Deformable and Elastic Foundation Finite Element Simulations for Predicting Knee Replacement Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid body total knee replacement (TKR) models with tibiofemoral contact based on elastic foundation (EF) theory utilize simple contact pressure-surface overclosure relationships to estimate joint ...
An Efficient Probabilistic Methodology for Incorporating Uncertainty in Body Segment Parameters and Anatomical Landmarks in Joint Loadings Estimated From Inverse Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inverse dynamics is a standard approach for estimating joint loadings in the lower extremity from kinematic and ground reaction data for use in clinical and research gait studies. Variability ...
Verification of Predicted Knee Replacement Kinematics During Simulated Gait in the Kansas Knee Simulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Evaluating total knee replacement kinematics and contact pressure distributions is an important element of preclinical assessment of implant designs. Although physical testing is essential in the ...
