We proposed a 2D-mesh representation of the deltoid muscle to improve a realism of forces and moments predictions in a multibody shoulder model. Our 2D-mesh model was qualitatively compared to a commonly used via-point model during an arm elevation in the scapular plane and to previous in-vitro studies in terms of deltoid moment arms. The most notable improvement was observed for the moment arms of the anterior deltoid, which shows better agreement with in-vitro studies. Consequently, joint reaction force above 90{degrees} of arm elevation was more consistent with in-vivo data, validating the 2D-mesh representation of the deltoid muscle.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
