”Torsion Tool: An automated tool for personalising femoral and tibial geometries in OpenSim musculoskeletal models” In cooperation with researcher from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands), KU Leuven (Belgium) and Griffith University (Australia), Dr. Kainz developed a tool to personalize bony geometries in musculoskeletal models.

Last year Ass-Prof Hans Kainz received the Clinical Biomechanics Award from the European Society of Biomechanics. The paper related to the award is now published and freely available with the following link https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105405 In this paper, Dr Kainz and colleagues used a multi-scale mechanobiological modelling approach to investigate reasons for typical and pathological femoral growth […]

How much modeling details are needed for musculoskeletal simulations in children with cerebral palsy? Dr Kainz in collaboration with colleagues from KU Leuven (Belgium) compared generic-scaled with highly subject-specific models and showed how including/excluding personalized musculoskeletal geometry and motor control affect simulation results.
