... validation sensitivity analysis muscle ligament cartilage meniscus The knee is one of the most complex joints in the body and plays a critical role in daily locomotion [ 1 ]. It is comprised of two separate joints—the tibiofemoral joint and patellofemoral joint—each of which is often affected...

... as the effect of the choice of simulation method on the obtained muscle forces. The performed sensitivity analysis consisted of the following multibody parameter modifications: maximum isometric muscle forces, number of muscles, the hip joint center location, segment masses, as well as different dynamic...

..., and height of the fluid, but only the real IC incorporated the side profile and footprint details to describe the fluid's topography. The 3D numerical model was used for the parametric study and sensitivity analysis to analyze the impact of power-law parameters on flow, and how sensitive the solution...

..., strengthening the importance of patient-specific simulations. A sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the impact of input data (clinical and modeling) to construct boundary conditions on several indicators. Overall, the sensitivity of the output indicators to the input data was small but non...

... within the experimental standard deviations for 78% of the 74 input variation simulations. Based on our simulations and a sensitivity analysis, we conclude that our preliminary validation of the ATB model for passive falls was successful. In fact, these ATB model simulations represent a significant step...
