Questions: Leg Muscle Force Estimation

Jun 27, 2018

If you are completing this example as a laboratory exercise for a course on human movement, you will need to submit answers to these questions. These questions can be saved as a Word document by selecting "Export to Word" from the Tools menu in the top-right corner of this page.

Part I: Leg Muscle Force Estimation in Swing

A.  Explore the model and the Forward Dynamics Tool

B.  Simulate swing phase with manually selected excitations

C. Simulate swing phase with activations from Static Optimization (SO)

D. Simulate swing phase with excitations from Computed Muscle Control (CMC)

Part II: Leg Muscle Force Estimation in Stance

A. Find a set of generalized forces that produce the stance motion using Inverse Dynamics

B. Model refinement through residual reduction

C. Finalize the model through iteration of RRA

D. Forward simulation of stance with CMC

Reflection

Provide some suggestions for future offerings of the course:

  • Were any elements of this lab confusing? How could they be improved?

  • What resources did you use? Was anything missing or unclear in the OpenSim documentation?

  • What was the best part of this lab? What would you add to improve the lab?
