Layer-wise Relevance Propagation and its Applications in Running Biomechanics
Biomechanics has entered an era of ’big data’, where human locomotion data is generated rapidly and in large quantities. This poses new challenges because conventional analysis methods are ineffective in the presence of the myriad of interacting variables that describe human locomotion in …

Optimization of ligament parameters on a subject-specific computational human knee model in a dynamic knee simulator using design of experiments
… at the University of Kansas Experimental Joint Biomechanics Research Laboratory (Lawrence, Kansas) in the Kansas Knee Simulator (KKS) under various loading profiles while the kinematics of the knee was recorded. A model of the knee in the KKS was created using previously validated modeling …

Development and application of a non invasive image matching method to study spine biomechanics
Research on spine biomechanics is critical to understand pathology such as degenerative changes and low back pain. However, current study on in-vivo spine biomechanics is limited by the complex anatomy and invasive methodology. Modem clinical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance and …
