As described in __40__ Inverse Dynamics, the motion of the model is completely defined by the generalized positions, velocities, and accelerations. The Static Optimization Tool uses the known motion of the model to solve the equations of motion for the unknown generalized forces (e.g., joint torques) subject to one of the following muscle activation-to-force conditions:

...

where n is the number of muscles in the model; am is the activation level of muscle at a discrete time step; 

Mathinline
bodyF_m^0
 is its maximum isometric force; lm is its length; vis its shortening velocity; 
Mathinline
bodyf(F_m^0, l_m, v_m)
 is its force-length-velocity surface; rm,j is its moment arm about the jthjoint axis; 
Mathinline
body\tau_j
 is the generalized force acting about the jth joint axis; and is a user defined constant. Note that for static optimization
Mathinline
bodyf(F_m^0, l_m, v_m)
 computes the active fiber force along the tendon assuming an inextensible tendon and does not include contribution from muscles' parallel elastic element.
