... elements have their own forces ( F CE , F PE and F , respectively), and the tendon element has its own length ( L T ). (B) Musculoskeletal models feature musculotendon actuators that exert forces on body segments to produce movements, excited by input u mediated by activation dynamics to yield...

.... While computational musculoskeletal modeling offers numerous benefits to biomechanical studies of the human body, several limitations constrain the present modeling of the glenohumeral joint. The shoulder is considered a three-joint structure, and the acromioclavicular and sternothoracic joints were...

... by The Company of Biologists Ltd 2015 Summary: Musculoskeletal models developed from anatomical experiments reveal the biomechanical features that increase the potential of the human iliotibial band to store and recover elastic energy during bipedal walking compared with the chimp fascia lata...

... to moderate running speeds up to 5 m s −1 . Little is known about how the human ankle plantar-flexors utilize tendon elastic strain energy as running speed is advanced towards maximum sprinting. We used data obtained from gait experiments in conjunction with musculoskeletal modeling and optimization...
