Development and validation of a computational multibody model of the elbow joint
(2014-03-25)Computational multibody models of the elbow joint can provide a powerful tool to study joint biomechanics, examine muscle and ligament function, soft tissue loading, and the effects of joint trauma. Such models can reduce ... -
Development of Multibody Soft Tissue Models and Their Tuning to Experimental Data: With a Focus in the Canine Meniscus
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)This study explores the application of multibody modeling techniques in an attempt to capture the flexible behavior of biological tissues inside of a rigid body mechanics software. To accomplish this, segmented multibody ... -
Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint
(2013)Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains ... -
A musculoskeletal model of a subject specific knee joint with menisci, during the stance phase of a walk cycle
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-26)Movement simulation and musculoskeletal modeling can predict muscle forces, but current methods are hindered by simplified representations of joint structures. Simulations that incorporate muscle forces, an anatomical ... -
Optimization of ligament parameters on a subject-specific computational human knee model in a dynamic knee simulator using design of experiments
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-12-09)The objective of this study was to optimize ligament parameters used in a dynamic three dimensional subject-specific computational knee model. The parameters of interest are the zero load length (lambda sub zero), stiffness ... -
Validation of a Subject Specific Canine Hind Limb Model with Emphasis on an Anatomical Stifle
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)The objective of this study was to validate a subject specific multibody limb level model of a canine hind limb and incorporate joint level modeling techniques to include an anatomically correct stifle. Experimental testing ...
