A Biomechanical Approach for Dynamic Hip Joint Analysis - 3D Multiscale Physiological Human - page 240

Fig. 10.12 Location of the stress peak ( red color ) observed during simulation in the superior and
postero-superior parts of the labrum and actebuar cartilage
which corresponds to the localization of diagnosed lesions (see Fig. 10.8 ). Based
on these results, it is hypothesized that excessive movements may explain these
lesions of idiopathic OA. This hypothesis is supported by the nature of the dancer's
movements.
Nevertheless, additional work is required to assess some simulation components in
order to fully accept the results. In fact, the accuracy of the different stages involving
anatomy, kinematics and dynamics can have some impact on the quality of the
simulation. To improve the significance of the results, analysis of more subjects
is planned.

the great theater of Geneva for their collaboration.
