Biomechanical model for musculoskeletal simulation

Abstract. Musculoskeletal modeling is a technique for studying joint contact forces and moments during movement. Subject-specific models can achieve high accuracy in estimating forces. Construction of subject-specific models, on the other hand, remains costly time-consuming. The objective this study was to determine what changes could be made generic musculoskeletal improve estimation effect these estimated evaluated. A variety change strategies were discovered, including muscle (e.g., length), angle angle, number degrees freedom), optimization problems (e.g. function, constraints, design variables). All had an force accuracy, demonstrating potential improving model predictions without requiring time-consuming expensive medical techniques. However, due inconsistencies literature evidence about effect, despite quality reviewed studies, no trend defining which greatest identified.
