Discussion

This workflow demonstrates improved accuracy in musculoskeletal modelling using MRI, indicating significant differences in joint kinematics.

The proposed workflow simplifies the creation of personalised musculoskeletal models from magnetic resonance imaging.
Principal component analysis showed clear geometric differences between MRI-based and generic models, particularly in pelvis width and limb proportions.
Joint kinematics were generally similar across models of the same individual, highlighting the alignment of muscle moment arms with prior cadaver studies.
MRI-based models produced higher joint contact forces, revealing significant variations across individuals and underscoring the importance of anatomical personalisation.

Stansfield et al. (2025) studied this question.
