In this presentation, we study the modeling of physiology and muscoskeletal biomechanics using COMSOL. The outline for the presentation is in particular:

  • Why is COMSOL particularly powerful for modeling physiology?
  • Modeling soft tissues like cartilage
  • Optimization to determine soft tissue properties
  • Modeling of moving loads in the TMJ
  • Robust 3D models from imaging data
  • Model of primary lymphatic system
