Final FE model: structural elements, i.e., bones (pelvis and femur), skin, fat, and muscle groups were created based on the 3-D reconstruction of the buttock-thigh structure obtained from MRI images under the “without sitting pressure” configuration. Five muscle groups were as follows: Group 1: Minimus, Medius andMaximus Gluteus; Group2: Adductor Longus, Adductor Brevis, Adductor Magnus, and Pectineus; Group3: Biceps Femoris (long head), Semitendinosus, and Gracilis; Group4: Piriformis, Superior and inferior Gemellus and Obturator Internus; Group5: Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius, Vastus Medialis and Rectus Femoris.
