This study examined the relationship between HAM and hip joint reaction force (HJRF) during walking and running under natural and foot progression modification conditions in healthy adults. Musculoskeletal modelling in OpenSim was used to estimate HJRF, and inverse dynamics were applied to calculate HAM.

Toe-in walking significantly reduced HAM (p = 0.017) and HJRF (p = 0.037) compared to natural walking.

The inversion assumed elastic layers, with estimated speeds compared to reference values from single-layer wave elastography. While overall layer characterization showed higher error, mainly due to viscoelastic effects not captured in the model, the inclusion was accurately identified. The embedded inclusion, with a shear wave speed about 1.7 times that of surrounding material, was estimated with only 1.5% error, and the surrounding layer with approximately 10% error. In addition, in vivo measurements were performed on the human forearm skin, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed method under realistic physiological conditions and strengthening the clinical relevance of the study.

Low physical fitness, including low muscle strength, is a modifiable injury risk factor, making it an important focus for injury prevention. Evaluating potential injury mechanisms from biomechanical modeling and simulation may be useful, particularly for individuals who have unique muscle strengths and body segment mass distributions. However, modeled muscle strength from average adults is likely underestimated for trained, active-duty military personnel, which may influence internal load calculations. Thus, we evaluated the effects of muscle strength and segment mass distribution personalization on joint contact impulses and peak forces, and muscle force impulses from musculoskeletal simulations. Full-body kinematics, ground reaction forces, and electromyography were collected from 16 active-duty participants under two walking conditions: 1) no-pack and 2) pack (posteriorly added load, total 46 kg). These data drove and validated simulations of models with different types of personalization. Modeled segment masses were scaled using measured regional masses from dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Modeled muscle strengths were scaled from eight maximum voluntary isometric contractions measured using an instrumented dynamometer including the lumbar, hip, knee, and ankle. Personalized mass-distribution scaling had 6% greater lumbar joint contact impulses in walking compared to not personalized (p = .006). Personalized muscle strength scaling had greater joint contact impulses at the lumbar (42%), hip (25%), and knee (8%) (p &lt; .001), and smaller impulses at the ankle (−4%) (p = .048) compared to not personalized.

Finite element microscale models corresponding to different acetabular regions were developed, along with the macroscale model of the implanted hemipelvis. The variable implant-bone relative displacements and the host bone material properties in ten interfacial regions, were mapped from the macroscale model to microscale model.
