Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The foreign business software mainly includes SIMM, Visual 3-D (C-Motion Inc.), Anybody (Anybody Technology) and Adams (MSC Software Corporation); open source software mainly includes OpenSim. Domestic development of such software is slow. Muscle force estimation plays an important role in studying neuromuscular coordination and analyzing athletic performance. It can also be used to identify the sources of pathological movement and establish a scientific basis for treatment planning.
OBJECTIVE: From a new perspective, a perfect platform was built based on inverse dynamics for the human muscle force estimation.
METHODS: This paper describes the developed process of the platform for muscle force estimation (MFE-2) which based on the optimization algorithm. This platform can analyze muscle force in the state of various human movements. In addition, with a normal gait as an example, muscle force of the major muscles of upper limb was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Two typical muscles (triceps brachii lateral and biceps brachii short) of a health subject in gait were analyzed, and the calculated result was basically consistent with the relevant references.
