Simulation of Tendon Transfer Surgery
Engineering in Medicine, 1985A biomechanical model is used to simulate a tendon transfer operation. The model predicts the required forces in twelve ankle muscles during standing and walking, and also the endurance time of the (instantaneous) posture. In particular, the mechanical effect of anterior transfer of the posterior tibial tendon of a patient with muscle paralysis due to
