In vivo stiffness measurement and in silico stiffness prediction of biceps brachii muscle using an isometric contraction exercise
Cadavers are often used to measure the material properties of muscle via the static tensile loading test. However, the mechanical properties of the cadaver are different from that of in vivo muscle. In this wo...
