The aim of this paper is to strengthen the safety of a robot assisted fracture-reduction system by introducing a musculoskeletal model, which can predict and manage the fracture-reduction force. The musculoskeletal modeling of the hip fracture is useful for increasing the safety of the robot assisted fracture reduction. This model simulates the forces and moments to each joint movement. Two following functions are expected with this simulation. 

Though there have been several studies about the modeling of the lower extremities [4,5], the application of this modeling to hip fracture reduction is not found. In this study, the musculoskeletal modeling method is introduced, and the model is applied to the hip fracture. Finally, the reduction force is simulated for two reduction paths. 

The musculoskeletal model requires the muscle force simulation and the musculoskeletal geometry. For the muscle force simulation, Hill-based muscle models have been used for... 

The aim of this present study was to develop a patient specific 3D musculoskeletal model of the Post Polio Residual Paralysis (PPRP) subject. This model will allow the effects of the lower limb orthosis on the gait kinematics and kinetics of the patient with PPRP syndrome to be quantified objectively. A healthy 3D musculoskeletal model was also developed as a reference model to pick out pathological disorders of post-polio subject...
