... sought to use modeling and simulation to determine how peak joint contact forces and impulses change for individuals with unilateral TTA during an uneven step and subsequent recovery step and how those patterns compare to able-bodied individuals. We expected residual limb loading during the uneven step...

... modeling platform, suggesting such platforms can be effective tools for teaching fundamental cardiovascular computational modeling principles. One challenge with image-based CFD modeling is the large amount of computing power required for meaningful simulations. However, these packages can also be paired...

... is to develop a theoretical model to simulate temperature fields in a joint simulator for various bearing conditions using finite element analyses. The frictional heat generation rate at the interface between a moving pin and a stationary base is modeled as a boundary heat source. Both the heat source...

... in the unimpaired case. This formulation allows the information from several force production tasks to be treated as a single coupled system. In a second step, the identified impairments are used to obtain a novel cost function for the muscle tension estimation task. In a simulation study of the index finger...

... remains unknown. This prompts the present hemodynamic simulation for a 25 year-old man who received a right donor lobectomy. According to the magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography images taken prior to the operation and one month after the operation, three sequential models of portal veins (pre...

... from two different experimental studies were performed for the function of the medial arch in weight bearing stance and the contributions of soft tissue structures to arch stability. Sensitivity simulations evaluated selected in situ strain and stiffness values for ligament tissue. The greatest...

...Lawrence D. Noble, Jr.; Robb W. Colbrunn; Dong-Gil Lee; Antonie J. van den Bogert; Brian L. Davis Orthopaedic research on in vitro forces applied to bones, tendons, and ligaments during joint loading has been difficult to perform because of limitations with existing robotic simulators in applying...

...-external rotation of the tibia and the FE axis is identified after the LR axis is known. The validation used virtual simulations of 3D video-based motion analysis to create relative motion between the femur and tibia during pure internal-external rotation, and flexion-extension with coupled internal...

...Michael J. Koehle; M. L. Hull The usefulness of forward dynamic simulations to studies of human motion is well known. Although the musculoskeletal models used in these studies are generic, the modeling of specific components, such as the knee joint, may vary. Our two objectives were (1...

In this paper, we undertake a thorough investigation into the applicability of these simulated acceleration signals via a series of interdependent experiments of increasing generality. We measured...

A simulation of a three-second braking task found 3647 sets of muscle activation levels that resulted in stable braking postures with realistic pedal force. These activation patterns were then used in impact simulations where vehicle deceleration...

...-hemodynamic simulations have been conducted for two commonly implemented end-to-side anastomotic configurations, with and without proximal outflow. Specifically, sites of significant particle interactions with the vascular surface have been identified by a novel near-wall residence time (NWRT) model...
