Appropriately complex biomechanical modelling of distance running
… PhD was to develop an “appropriately complex” biomechanical model of running. The first investigation aimed to assess the validity of the fundamental assumption of the spring mass model, the simplest model of running. The model assumes that during running the human body acts similar to a point …

Biomechanical modelling of human knee during living activities
… rehabilitative procedures. In this context, a modelling approach is necessary to estimate the biomechanic function of each anatomical structure during daily living activities. The main aim of this study was to obtain a subject-specific model of the knee joint of a selected healthy subject. In …

The assessment of biomechanical modelling and PET/MR imaging in coronary atherosclerosis
… as material properties, loading conditions and modelling strategies. The influence of material properties and loading conditions has been widely studied, whilst modelling strategies are currently less investigated. A PET/MR system provides simultaneous anatomical and metabolic imaging. However, …

Bioengineering Analysis of Traumatic Brain Injury
… research aims to use medical image computing and biomechanical modelling techniques to characterise the specific deformation field of brain tissues under various TBI scenarios and strengthen the biomechanical understanding across the full spectrum of TBI. Medical image computing provides the …

Predictive Simulation of Musculoskeletal Models Using Direct Collocation
Applications of biomechanical predictive simulation are wide ranging, with the technique used to provide insights into movement disorders, sports performance, and injury prevention. However, current software provision has limitations. Users are restricted from leveraging state-of-the-art methods …

Workforce fatigue prediction via wearable sensor data analytics
… Evaluation (SAFE) framework using torque-based biomechanical endurance modelling to predict the time to physical fatigue during static and dynamic tasks in an individualised and task generalisable manner. The framework addresses limitations of ergonomic assessments, force-based endurance models, …

Accumulating delivered dose to the rectum to improve toxicity prediction in prostate radiotherapy
… in addition to rectal bleeding and proctitis. Biomechanical finite element (FE) modelling was introduced to provide a more anatomically plausible tool for dose accumulation and allowed more accurate tracking of dose at the voxel level. A sensitivity analysis was conducted which explored the …
