Orthopedics

Accelerate your innovations by reducing time, cost and risk with orthopedic simulations

Our products and services help you develop cutting edge designs for orthopedics implants and joint replacements, within reduced time frames and costs. We provide objective, data backed solutions to help you address a wide array of development challenges such as determining load-bearing requirements and fulfilling regulatory obligations.

Musculoskeletal knee model

Applications

“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”
