Comparison of OpenSim and AnyBody Modeling System
Comparison of OpenSim and AnyBody Modeling System
This study compares muscle force predictions in upper extremities using OpenSim and the AnyBody modeling system, which are crucial for orthopedics, rehabilitation, and sports science research. Generic models simulated static elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder abduction. Results indicated that while both software produced similar muscle force predictions for elbow flexion, there were significant discrepancies in shoulder movements. AnyBody demonstrated a more comprehensive prediction of muscle forces, attributed to its detailed representation of upper extremity muscles. This highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate modeling system based on specific biomechanical needs.

In the Kinematics and Kinetics of Cross Body Abduction and Hand Behind the Back Tests to Assess Osteoarthritis of the Acromioclavicular Joint
Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis, prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, leads to shoulder pain and functional limitations. Addressing inconsistencies in physical diagnosis, this study evaluated muscle forces during cross body adduction (CBA) and hand behind the back (HBB) tests using OpenSim and AnyBody Modeling System™. The study revealed both agreements and significant discrepancies in muscle force predictions between the two software by redefining joint kinematics and performing inverse dynamics analysis with generic upper extremity models. The findings highlight the need for integrating multiple modeling approaches and comprehensive validation with experimental data to improve accuracy and reliability in shoulder biomechanics assessments.
