The ankle joint complex constitutes a biomechanical system of extreme complexity. Both in case of joint arthrodesis and joint replacement, the analysis of the forces generated under dynamic conditions is crucial. In the present work, we developed a musculoskeletal model of the ankle joint complex in order to: (a) analyze the physiological movements of the ankle joints, (b) evaluate the forces experienced by ligaments, muscles and at the contacts between tibia and talus, and (c) evaluate the effects of the insertion of a modern ankle prosthesis.

Abstract
The ankle joint complex constitutes a biomechanical system of extreme complexity. Both in case of joint arthrodesis and joint replacement, the analysis of the forces generated under dynamic conditions is crucial. In the present work, we developed a musculoskeletal model of the ankle joint complex in order to: (a) analyze the physiological movements of the ankle joints, (b) evaluate the forces experienced by ligaments, muscles and at the contacts between tibia and talus, and (c) evaluate the effects of the insertion of a modern ankle prosthesis.File in questo prodotto:
