A combination of pain syndromes in the neck and shoulder joints creates a significant burden on the healthcare system and has important social and economic significance. Treatment of these pathologies is often inefficient and can reduce the quality of life for patients. Studying of the relationship between pathological changes in the cervical spine and diseases of the shoulder area is crucial for developing more efficient treatment methods. Biomechanical modeling can be a valuable tool in this research, as assessing muscle function in patients is not always feasible. To our knowledge, there are no open-source biomechanical models for concomitant functioning of neck and shoulder. The aim of this research is to construct a biomechanical model for neck and shoulder concomitant functioning and to investigate numerically the work of neck and shoulder muscles during head and arm movements.
颈部和肩关节疼痛综合征的组合给医疗系统带来了沉重负担,具有重要的社会和经济意义。这些病症的治疗往往效率低下,会降低患者的生活质量。研究颈椎病理变化与肩部疾病之间的关系对于开发更有效的治疗方法至关重要。生物力学建模可以成为这项研究中的一个有价值的工具,因为评估患者的肌肉功能并不总是可行的。据我们所知,目前尚无用于颈部和肩部协同功能的开源生物力学模型。本研究的目的是构建一个用于颈部和肩部协同功能的生物力学模型,并通过数值模拟研究头部和手臂运动过程中颈部和肩部肌肉的工作情况。
