muscle moment arms and orientations for 43 lower limb muscles.
Muscle forces selected:
1) Minimizing the sum of the squared muscle stresses;
2) Balancing the sagittal hip, knee and ankle moments
and the frontal hip and ankle moments with the external moments. METHOD Data analysis (cont) The femoral head 3-D forces estimation: muscle + joint forces.
FEBio input model files: hip contact forces and 27
muscle forces attaching on the femur.
Finite element analysis: FEBio for the entire femur
during peak hip contact forces. METHOD Stats analysis Repeated-measured MANOVAs:
