How do muscles really move the shoulder? Previous computer simulations often greatly simplify the processes and therefore deliver inaccurate results. The InnoTreat project team has developed a method that takes into account the individual shape of the shoulder blade and upper arm. This allows muscle movements to be simulated more realistically. The method could help to plan therapies better and prevent injuries in the future.
The results were presented at the 30th Congress of the European Society of Biomechanics (July 6-9, 2025, Zurich) and at the XX International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics (July 23-25, 2025, Uppsala).
