Polyethylene wear of dual mobility cups: a comparative analysis based on patient-specific finite element modeling

Alexandre Terrier, Matthieu Boubat, Ehsan Sarshari

Purpose Concerns remain about potential increased wear with dual mobility cups related to the multiple articulations involved in this specific design of implant. This finite element analysis study aimed to compare polyethylene (PE) wear between dual mobili ...

Feasibility of an alternative method to estimate glenohumeral joint center from videogrammetry measurements and CT/MRI of patients

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Matteo Mancuso, Ehsan Sarshari

Videogrammetry is commonly used to record upper limb motions. However, it cannot track the glenohumeral joint center (GH). GH is required to reconstruct upper limb motions. Therefore, it is often estimated by separately measuring scapular motions using sca ...

A Matlab toolbox for scaled-generic modeling of shoulder and elbow

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alexandre Terrier, Ehsan Sarshari, Yasmine Boulanaache

There still remains a barrier ahead of widespread clinical applications of upper extremity musculoskeletal models. This study is a step toward lifting this barrier for a shoulder musculoskeletal model by enhancing its realism and facilitating its applicati ...

Muscle co-contraction in an upper limb musculoskeletal model: EMG-assisted vs. standard load-sharing

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Matteo Mancuso, Ehsan Sarshari

Estimation of muscle forces in over-actuated musculoskeletal models involves optimal distributions of net joint moments among muscles by a standard load-sharing scheme (SLS). Given that co-contractions of antagonistic muscles are counterproductive in the n ...

A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

Ehsan Sarshari

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

A simulation framework for humeral head translations

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Ehsan Sarshari

Humeral head translations (HHT) play a crucial role in the glenohumeral (GH) joint function. The available shoulder musculoskeletal models developed based on inverse dynamics however fall short of predicting the HHT. This study aims at developing a simulat ...

A framework for forward-dynamics simulation of the human shoulder

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Ehsan Sarshari

A vast majority of the available biomechanical models of the human shoulder has been developed based on inverse dynamics, e.g. [1,2]. This imposes a number of limitations on their application. For instance, the glenohumeral joint is approximated as an idea ...

Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Assessing the Equilibrium Depth of Local Scour Around Bridge Piers

Philippe Müllhaupt, Ehsan Sarshari

Scour can have the effect of subsidence of the piers in bridges, which can ultimately lead to the total collapse of these systems. Effective bridge design needs appropriate information on the equilibrium depth of local scour. The flow field around bridge p ...
