Engineered miniaturized models of musculoskeletal diseases [PDF]

open access: yesDrug Discovery Today, 2016
The musculoskeletal system is an incredible machine that protects, supports and moves the human body. However, several diseases can limit its functionality, compromising patient quality of life. Designing novel pathological models would help to clarify the mechanisms driving such diseases, identify new biomarkers and screen potential drug candidates ...

The influence of pain on tibiofemoral joint contact force and muscle forces in knee osteoarthritis patients during stair ascent

open access: yesEngineering Reports, 2020
This study investigated the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) forces and supporting muscle forces displayed by knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients during stair ascent, and if these forces were influenced by the presence of pain. Fifteen knee OA patients partitioned

Development of a Knee Joint CT-FEM Model in Load Response of the Stance Phase During Walking Using Muscle Exertion, Motion Analysis, and Ground Reaction Force Data

open access: yesMedicina, 2020
Background and objectives: There are no reports on articular stress distribution during walking based on any computed tomography (CT)-finite element model (CT-FEM). This study aimed to develop a calculation model of the load response (LR) phase, the most

On validation of multibody musculoskeletal models [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2012
We review the opportunities to validate multibody musculoskeletal models in view of the current transition of musculoskeletal modelling from a research topic to a practical simulation tool in product design, healthcare and other important applications. This transition creates a new need for justification that the models are adequate representations of

Chronic Ankle Instability Does Not Influence Tibiofemoral Contact Forces during Drop Landings

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a very common sequela after ankle sprains. Previous studies observed some knee biomechanical and neuromuscular alterations of CAI that could potentially relate to the knee injury mechanism during landings.
