Computation of muscle excitation patterns that produce coordinated movements of muscle-
actuated dynamic models is an important and challenging problem. Using dynamic …

The objective of this study was to develop an efficient methodology for generating muscle-
actuated simulations of human walking that closely reproduce experimental measures of …

The problem of quantifying muscular activity of the human body can be formulated as an
optimal control problem. The current methods used with large-scale biomechanical systems …

▪ Abstract Recent interest in using modeling and simulation to study movement is driven by
the belief that this approach can provide insight into how the nervous system and muscles …

This paper examined if an electromyography (EMG) driven musculoskeletal model of the
human knee could be used to predict knee moments, calculated using inverse dynamics …

Several opensource or commercially available software platforms are widely used to
develop dynamic simulations of movement. While computational approaches are …

Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into
neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and …

Biomechanical models of the musculoskeletal system are frequently used to study
neuromuscular control and simulate surgical procedures. To be broadly applicable, a model …

Objective: Current clinical biomechanics involves lengthy data acquisition and time-
