...Alessandro Ruggiero; Alessandro Sicilia In this paper, a multibody model was developed in the framework of biotribology of lower limb artificial joints. The presented algorithm performs the inverse dynamics of musculoskeletal systems with the aim to achieve a tool for the calculation of the joint...

... lead to life-altering injuries. These events achieve higher forces over shorter durations than car crashes, the current standard used for protective measures. In order to determine appropriate injury limits for the lower limb, a testing apparatus has been designed that can simulate these types...
