... estimation of energy expenditure is challenging, which may be due to uncertainty about the true energy cost of eccentric and concentric muscle contractions. The purpose of this study was to validate three commonly used metabolic models, using isolated isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee extensions...

... applications. We also cross validated the wearable MOCAP system against an optoelectronic system using Bland–Altman graphs. The evidence shows that the data provided by the wearable MOCAP system are comparable with the data of optoelectronic system. The new system has the advantage of not interfering...

... device (e.g., dummy) is required. Finite element model counterparts to the physical dummies are also useful tools in the evaluation of injury risk, but require validated constitutive material models used in the dummy. However, material model fitting can result in models that are over-fit: they match well...

... 03 10 2013 11 10 2013 Multiple computational models have been developed to study knee biomechanics. However, the majority of these models are mainly validated against a limited range of loading conditions and/or do not include sufficient details of the critical anatomical structures...

The data indicate that range of motion predictions alone are insufficient to establish model validation intended to predict mechanical contact parameters. These data also emphasize the need for the careful...

This could be investigated by means of finite element analysis, but, in order to be effective in discerning potential critical conditions, the accuracy of the models’ predictions should be assessed. The major goal of this study was to validate...
