This paper develops a female-specific musculoskeletal model that outperforms male-based models in simulating female gait biomechanics, particularly in pelvic and hip-related metrics.

The paper examines whether energy costs of walking limited the evolution of a larger human birth canal by analyzing musculoskeletal models and locomotion efficiency.

This paper introduces a semi-automatic workflow to create personalised musculoskeletal models from MRI data, showing that MRI-based models produce higher joint contact forces with greater variation compared to generic models.

This study validates a mechanobiological model for predicting femoral growth using longitudinal MRI and motion capture data from children, showing accurate predictions of femoral anteversion development.

The paper examines how muscle synergy activation coefficients change with movement proficiency and learning, finding increased trial-to-trial similarity and distinctness.
