A review of the efforts to develop muscle and musculoskeletal models for biomechanics in the last 50 years
(Elsevier, 2023-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBoth the Hill and the Huxley muscle models had already been described by the time the International Society of Biomechanics was founded 50 years ago, but had seen little use before the 1970s due to the lack of computing. ... -
Assessment of residual reduction procedures for high-speed tasks
(2019-09-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground Experimental and modeling errors can lead to dynamically inconsistent results when performing inverse dynamic analyses of human movement. Adding low-value residual pelvis actuators could deal with such a problem. ... -

Effects of tendon compliance on the prediction of human squatting motion
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyPredictive simulations of human motion have the potential to aid the design of assistive devices, foresee surgical outcomes, and analyse isolated muscular features, which would otherwise be difficult to measure experimentally1. ... -
Evaluation of Optimal Control Approaches for Predicting Active Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthosis Motion for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-01-24)
Article
Open AccessGait restoration of individuals with spinal cord injury can be partially achieved using active orthoses or exoskeletons. To improve the walking ability of each patient as much as possible, it is important to personalize ... -
Evaluation of optimal control formulations for obtaining dynamically consistent walking motions
(2018)
Conference report
Open Accessn recent years, interest has grown in predicting human motion, for example, to study cause-effect relations for a specific task [1]. To predict human motion, researchers typically use optimization-based methods that minimize ... -
Evaluation of optimal control formulations for predicting swing-through axillary crutch-assisted gait
(2021)
Conference report
Open AccessCrutches are widely used to assist gait in individuals with lower limb impairment. Walking with crutches alters both upper and lower body loading, potentially leading to discomfort. As such, it is important to study how ... -
