Concurrent use of finite element (FE) and musculoskeletal (MS) modeling techniques is capable of considering the interactions between prosthetic mechanics and subject dynamics after a total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is performed. However, it still has not been performed in terms of favorable pr...
