Abstract: Optimization solutions to the indeterminate distribution problem of determining muscle forces are discussed. A method of predicting muscle force during joint function is presented which encourages ...

Abstract: Strain measurement was performed on loaded fresh human cadaveric proximal femurs before and after total hip femoral component implantation. Changes in the femurs’ strain state associated with ...

Abstract: The motion of the hand relative to a reference frame embedded in the radius is described using the screw displacement axis (SDA) concept. A three-dimensional sonic digitizer was utilized in a ...

Abstract: The mathematical prediction of muscle and joint force requires a quantitative knowledge of muscle origins and insertions. A model is presented based upon marking the origins and insertions in ...
