Abstract
An inherent shortcoming of generic musculoskeletal models is their inability to accurately model deformed musculoskeletal system, while generating fully personalized models are time and money consuming. To address this, we created a MATLAB tool that modifies OpenSim generic models, producing semi-personalized models. A subject with varus deformity participated in our study and her associated semi-personalized model was created. The semi-personalized model significantly decreased marker error during Inverse Kinematics (p < 0.05). Notably, hip abduction/adduction ROM increased by 4.87 degrees on average, muscle activation in TFL rose by 53%, and Gracilis activation dropped by 4% in the semi-personalized model. Overall, semi-personalized models enhance accuracy for higher musculoskeletal analyses.
期刊介绍：
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
