Effects of glenoid inclination and acromion index on humeral head translation and glenoid articular cartilage strain

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Previous clinical studies have reported associations between glenoid inclination (GI), the acromion index (AI), and the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on the one hand and the occurrence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and supraspinatus tendon tears on the ot ...

Modelling of the human shoulder as a parallel mechanism without constraints

Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alain Farron, David Ingram, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

The synthesis of shoulder kinematics, either for simulation in a model or imitation in a robot, is a challenging task because of the contact between shoulder blade and ribcage. As the shoulder moves, the shoulder blade glides over the ribcage. In kinematic ...

Improving anterior deltoid activity in a musculoskeletal shoulder model – an analysis of the torque-feasible space at the sternoclavicular joint

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, David Ingram, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Modelling the shoulder's musculature is challenging given its mechanical and geometric complexity. The use of the ideal fibre model to represent a muscle's line of action cannot always faithfully represent the mechanical effect of each muscle, leading to c ...

Comparison of an EMG-based and a stress-based method to predict shoulder muscle forces

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

The estimation of muscle forces in musculoskeletal shoulder models is still controversial. Two different methods are widely used to solve the indeterminacy of the system: electromyography (EMG)-based methods and stress-based methods. The goal of this work ...

Effect of Patient Specific Parameters on Degenerative Shoulder Diseases

Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears are two common and wide spread shoulder diseases leading to significant restrictions in the daily life of the affected. The pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. A chronic process triggered by multiple causes is as ...

Muscle Moment-Arms: A Key Element in Muscle-Force Estimation

Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

A clear and rigorous definition of muscle moment-arms in the context of musculoskeletal systems modelling is presented, using classical mechanics and screw theory. The definition provides an alternative to the tendon excursion method, which can lead to inc ...

Impact of partial-thickness tears on supraspinatus tendon strain based on a finite element analysis

A Minimal Set of Coordinates for Describing Humanoid Shoulder Motion

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, David Ingram, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

The kinematics of the anatomical shoulder are analysed and modelled as a parallel mechanism similar to a Stewart platform. A new method is proposed to describe the shoulder kinematics with minimal coordinates and solve the indeterminacy. The minimal coordi ...
