Preliminary study about the application of finite elements method to describe the shoulder joint
Main Article Content
Abstract
Computational biomechanics uses computational methods and simulations to study realistic biomechanics processes in a relatively long-time scale. The shoulder is the most complex joint on the human body. It is fragile and the slightest bone or ligament injury makes it unstable. Biomechanics of the shoulder and injury analysis are complex. To study these issues, numerical models can be used. Particularly, continuum mechanics models based on a finite element method (FEM) offer a powerful tool to assess the internal loading conditions of the shoulder musculoskeletal structure. Here it is presented a preliminary State of the Art focus on the application of FEM to describe the shoulder joint. General characteristics, parameters, vantages and limitations of these models and some representative examples are explained.
