DOI: 10.1007/s00414-025-03577-0
Abstract: Reconstructing injury-related movements and reactions in forensic biomechanics (e.g. abusive head trauma, whiplash, or falls) requires biofidelic representations of the human body. Muscle tone and activity can be integrated into these computational human body models.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eats.2021.04.014
Abstract: Knee flexion contractures can arise from posterior capsule arthrofibrosis secondary to trauma, surgery, or chronic degenerative disease. This leads to limited knee extension and increased mechanical stress on the contralateral joint. Depending on the severity… read more here.
