Toward Validating a Simplified Muscle Activation Model in SMARTMOBILE
Ekaterina Auer, Martin Tändl, Daniel Strobach, Andrés Kecskeméthy · 2006
In this paper, we apply the validated modeling and simulation environment SMARTMOBILE along with two solvers recently added to its core to the problem of the iden- tification of muscle activation in general motor tasks. The identification of muscle activation is one of the important and still open problems in biomechanics which aims at help- ing physicians assess an individual therapy for a patient. We address the discrepancy of the results supplied by the proposed simplified muscle activation model to the gait lab data and make an initial analysis of model's parameter sen- sitivity using validated techniques.
