A Dynamic Simulation of Musculoskeletal Function in the Mouse Hindlimb During Trotting Locomotion

Mice are often used as animal models of various human neuromuscular diseases, and analysis of these models often requires detailed gait analysis. However, little is known of the dynamics of the mouse musculoskeletal system during locomotion. In this study, we used computer optimization procedures to...
