Abstract
A method for modeling soft tissue includes receiving one or more images showing an anatomical geometry of a first subject. The anatomical geometry includes a soft tissue. The method also includes measuring a plurality of parameters of the anatomical geometry of the first subject using one or more sensors attached to the first subject. The method also includes receiving a first set of material properties for the soft tissue of the first subject, a second subject, or both. The method also includes identifying a second set of material properties that characterizes the soft tissue while the first subject performs a task. The method also includes determining a strain on the soft tissue, a stress on the soft tissue, or both based at least partially upon the one or more images, the parameters, the first set of material properties, and the second set of material properties.
