Glossary Term

Model

Models are simplified representations used to explain the workings of complex systems. They are particularly useful for aiding in the understanding of common changes and pathologies within these systems. For example, the Lower Extremity Dysfunction (LED) model is designed to help understand changes in lower extremity motion resulting from or causing common lower extremity pathologies. Models can be created for a wide range of systems, including biological, mechanical, and social systems, and can be used to explore hypothetical scenarios and predict outcomes. Synonyms for models include simulations, frameworks, and conceptualizations.
