Ass-Prof Hans Kainz and PhD student Willi Koller presented their latest research at the ESMAC conference last week. The three conference abstracts related to their work got published in the Journal of Gait and Posture. Below you can find the title and link to each abstract. Asymmetric gait pattern versus femoral morphology – What is […]

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. The paper is freely available with the following link ttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2021.105402

In collaboration with Prof Michael Schwartz from the University o Minnesota (MN, USA), Ass-Prof Hans Kainz showed how to compute muscle-tendon length in a consistent, easy and fast way. This work might be helpful for clinical gait laboratories with little musculoskeletal modelling experience. The paper is freely available with the following link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.04.039
