Chadwick, K. P., Allen, V. R., & Hutchinson, J. R. FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF TISSUES WRAPPING AROUND THE KNEE JOINT OF OSTRICHES (STRUTHIO CAMELUS)

Mechanical stimulation is accepted to play some role in the development of sesamoid bones, however with great variability in occurrence, it is not yet clear how significant this role is and what specific loading environment fosters or hinders growth....

DEVELOPING, TESTING AND OPTIMISING A MOUSE HINDLIMB MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charles, J. P., Cappellari, O., Spence, A., Wells, D. J., & Hutchinson, J. R. DEVELOPING, TESTING AND OPTIMISING A MOUSE HINDLIMB MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL

Stability during locomotion arises from many complex interactions which are not yet fully understood. Studies into how sensory feedback from muscle spindles contributes to this have used neuromechanical simulations, however their accuracy is limited...

The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles. Despite appreciable interest in the specialized anatomy and locomotion of p...
