“I am responsible for the design and development of joint replacements prostheses and have worked with AnyBody Technology for the past 15 years to evaluate skeletal joint reaction forces and motions. Our collaborations have evaluated both static and dynamic conditions including simulation a physical training exercise with motion capture to account for acceleration of body mass. Other simulations have determined the magnitude and direction of the joint reaction force resulting from external forces applied to a limb and from maximum isometric contraction of joint function muscles. Evaluations of skeletal joint mechanics conducted by AnyBody have proven to be important and necessary part of the joint replacement design and development process”

“At Scripps Health, CA, we have successfully used the AnyBody Modeling System to investigate and gain valuable insights into the biomechanics of the shoulder joint for optimizing surgical procedures. The innovative software allows us to explore scenarios, test solutions and make qualified estimations of properties inside the body, which are otherwise mostly impossible or unethical to measure. The AnyBody Modeling System has proven to be a critical part of our research process when testing and developing new products and surgical approaches across the spectrum of body sizes and body shapes. We also greatly appreciate the research, technical, and customer support from the dedicated people at AnyBody Technology, for providing advice and support for issues during challenging simulations.”
