Abstract : This chapter introduces the computational modelling approach
and, in particular, its applications to the musculoskeletal system.
The importance of computational modelling is highlighted. General
computational modelling approaches and generic considerations are
brie y discussed, followed by the presentation of common methods and
software used for the musculoskeletal system. ...
