Mouse Tibia Micro-Finite Element Models for Muscle Loading Analysis

6.2 GB of data and code examples from a biomechanics study on muscle insertion surfaces. The dataset includes 198 micro-FE models of six mouse tibiae derived from micro-CT images, simulating trotting gait loading conditions. It was authored by Enrico Dall'Ara and shared on figshare in 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare local strain energy density predictions based on different muscle insertion surface configurations.
• Validate micro-FE modeling approaches for skeletal loading using data from musculoskeletal simulations.
• Investigate the heterogeneous effect of muscle loading on bone strain across different anatomical features.

Strengths

• Includes 198 micro-FE models for comprehensive scenario testing.
• Based on micro-CT images from six distinct mouse tibiae.
• Shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect the specific experimental and modeling bias inherent to the source study.
