Development of an integrated modelling approach to study the interaction between joint contact geometry, kinematics and loading applied to the knee KU Leuven
Studying the relation between joint geometry, kinematics and loading is essential to understand how joints function, but is even more important from a clinical perspective. Deviant kinematics may, for example, adversely affect joint loading patterns, with load concentration on specific articular regions which might increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis(OA). OA is the most common agerelated joint disorder and is characterized by ...
