Musculoskeletal System Engineering: Numerical Methods in Ankle Rehabilitation

This lecture covers the engineering aspects of musculoskeletal system rehabilitation, focusing on numerical methods applied to ankle total replacement. It discusses clinical background, survival rates, fixed vs mobile implants, bone strain, joint forces, torque, and shear forces. The instructor explores how numerical modeling can replicate total ankle replacement, compare alternative solutions, and evaluate mechanical quantities to improve implant design and surgical techniques.
