| Research Abstract |
This study investigated change of muscle-tendon unit, muscle tension, and joint force during locomotion by simulation analysis using musculoskeletal model. Decrease of the iliopsoas muscle tension was revealed in patients with hip dysfunction. Furthermore, decreased iliopsoas tension produced increased muscle tension of the rectus femoris and gastrocnemius and increased knee joint force. This study would add important knowledge for rehabilitation for patients with hip dysfunction.
