Development of a Musculoskeletal Model of Hyolaryngeal Elements for Understanding Pharyngeal Swallowing Mechanics

Applied Sciences, 2020
A detailed understanding of muscle activity in human swallowing would provide insights into the complex neuromuscular coordination underlying swallowing. The purpose of this study was to introduce musculoskeletal analysis to investigate muscle activities

Effect of subscapularis repair on joint contact forces based on degree of posterior-superior rotator cuff tear severity in reverse shoulder arthroplasty

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) affect the clinical outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). However, the effects of subscapularis repair on the outcomes of RSA, based on the degree of posterior-superior RCTs, are unclear.

Reducing the Complexity of Musculoskeletal Models Using Gaussian Process Emulators

Applied Sciences, 2022
Musculoskeletal models (MSKMs) are used to estimate the muscle and joint forces involved in human locomotion, often associated with the onset of degenerative musculoskeletal pathologies (e.g., osteoarthritis).

Shoulder Positioning during Superior Capsular Reconstruction: Computational Analysis of Graft Integrity and Shoulder Stability

Biology, 2021
The shoulder position during fixation of the graft may be a key factor impacting the outcome of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) in irreparable rotator cuff tears (IRCTs).

Muscle mass in musculoskeletal models [PDF]

Journal of Biomechanics, 2010
Most current models of musculoskeletal dynamics lump a muscle's mass with its body segment, and then simulate the dynamics of these body segments connected by joints. As shown here, this popular approach leads to errors in the system's inertia matrix and hence in all aspects of the dynamics.

A Conceptual Blueprint for Making Neuromusculoskeletal Models Clinically Useful

Applied Sciences, 2021
The ultimate goal of most neuromusculoskeletal modeling research is to improve the treatment of movement impairments. However, even though neuromusculoskeletal models have become more realistic anatomically, physiologically, and neurologically over the ...
