The effect of hip and knee joint calibration methods on muscle-tendon length and velocity in modelling gait

Musculoskeletal models can be used to distinguish too short or too slow muscles in Cerebral Palsy patients. Therefor muscle-tendon geometry needs to be modeled accurately in order to predict the need and effectiveness of muscle-tendon lengthening. This geometry is strongly related to the location and orientation of the joint centres. In clinic...
