Host Mesh Fitting of a Generic Musculoskeletal Model of the Lower Limbs to Subject-Specific Body Surface Data: A Validation Study

Figure 1

The HMF technique is divided into four steps: (I) model registration based on bony landmarks; (II) recording of muscle-tendon nodal parameters with respect to generic lower body mesh; (III) customization of lower body mesh to subject-specific body shape data; and (IV) updating muscle-tendon nodal parameters according to customized skin mesh. Previously acquired MR images of children with and without CP [11] were used for validation purposes in the present work.
