Joint loading in the presence of torsional deformities is overestimated unless gait adaptations are considered: a predictive simulation approach

This study uses predictive simulations to show that joint loading in lower limbs with torsional deformities is overestimated without considering gait adaptations.

Validation of a multiscale Hill-type actuator against comprehensive benchmarks of motor unit and muscle force measurements

This paper develops and validates a multiscale Hill-type neuromuscular actuator against experimental benchmarks of motor unit and muscle force measurements, showing improved accuracy in force reproduction.

Hamstrings muscle dynamics during the Nordic hamstring exercise and high-speed running

This study compares the biomechanical demands of Nordic hamstring exercise and high-speed running on the biceps femoris long head muscle, finding differences in force, work, and power.

Knee and Hip Joint Dynamics Differ between Sprinting and Nordic Hamstring Exercises

This study compares knee and hip joint dynamics during sprinting and Nordic hamstring exercises, finding differences in biomechanical demands and hamstrings muscle-tendon unit behavior.

Running with an exotendon reduces compressive knee contact force

This study finds that using an exotendon reduces peak knee compressive contact force during running without affecting shear forces or other joints.

Simulations reveal how touchdown kinematic variables affect top sprinting speed: implications for coaching

This study uses simulations to show that horizontal touchdown distance (HTD) affects sprinting speed, while inter-knee touchdown distance (IKTD) does not, providing guidance for coaching techniques.
