Abstract : This chapter starts by introducing the human musculoskeletal
system (MSK) and its biomechanical roles in human movement, followed by
an overview of basic concepts and ideas underlying the nite element (FE)
modeling approach. We focus on the current status of FE modeling studies in
MSK biomechanics, including FE modeling of both the skeletal and muscular
systems. Furthermor ...
