... framework quantifies uncertainty in both ligament properties and model outputs; an important step towards developing subject-specific computational models to improve treatment for ACL injury. Fig. 3 Workflow for variable screening of the 26 ligament parameters (i.e.,, model inputs). The workflow used...

... with measured blood flow velocity waveforms in the common iliac arteries (with each body posture being maintained for 30 min) to build computational models for simulating intra-arterial hemodynamics. Morphological analyses showed that the external iliac arteries suffered from evident bending deformation upon...

... of a computational model. The scan was performed with an extremity coil (CP Extremity Coil, Siemens) in the sagittal plane using a three-dimensional T2-weighted scan with fat saturation (repetition time = 38 ms, echo time = 5 ms, flip angle = 25 deg, field of view = 16 cm, slice thickness = 1.0 mm). Triangulated...

...) to conduct external rotation tests using human cadaver ankles in these two shoe designs in order to measure differences in talus motion for the same level of external shoe rotation, and finally (3) to input the talus kinematics into the validated computational model in order to estimate the differences...
