Validation of the predicted mandible kinematics with the FDK TMJ model and + comparison to a simpler point-on-plane (POP) model. + +You can read more about this model and the validation in: +Andersen MS, de Zee M, Damsgaard M, Nolte D, Rasmussen J. 2017. +Introduction to Force-dependent Kinematics: Theory and Application to Mandible Modeling. +Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 139(9), 091001.

One of +these is a static reference trial (Static0001), which is used to register the +brace to the CT scan. This model can be run by loading the +file: `AnalysisFreeMovement.any` and run the operation "AnalysisMandible". The +results of this are saved in text files in the folder and used by the other +trials. + +In the remaining trial folders, there are five AnyScript files: + +- `TrialSpecificData.any` +- `AnalysisFreeMovement.any` +- `AnalysisPlanar.main.any` +- `AnalysisFDK.main.any` + +The `TrialSpecificData.any` file contain information about the trial to analyse +including start and end times. + +The three other files are all loadable and are used to run the model with either +no TMJ model (`AnalysisFreeMovement.any`), with the POP joint model +(`AnalysisPlanar.main.any`) and the FDK TMJ (`AnalysisFDK.main.any`). To run each of +these, load the main file and run the operation "AnalysisMandible". + +If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact the author. + +On behalf of the authors + +> Associate Professor +> Michael Skipper Andersen, PhD +> <mailto:msa@mp.aau.dk> + +
