Thesis Title
Development of improved biomechanical models for elite-level sprinting and other sporting applications
Research overview
Biomechanical analyses afford insight into individual muscle contribution to motion during different activities, enabling better training program development, injury prevention and rehabilitation. Most neuromusculoskeletal models optimize for and simulate neuromuscular function only in specific regions of the body. However, a full-body model of the human musculoskeletal system that includes a detailed representation of the torso has never been used to perform dynamic simulations for the purpose of better understanding muscle function. This research proposes the development of a more comprehensive model capable of being used in simulations of dynamic motion, allowing simultaneous analysis of lower limb and torso muscles.
