Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe Interface

These accessor methods are to be used when setting up a new muscle metabolic analysis from the API.

The basic operation is as follows:

model.addProbe(myProbe);
myProbe->addMuscle("muscleName1", ... );
myProbe->addMuscle("muscleName2", ... );
myProbe->addMuscle("muscleName3", ... );
myProbe->useProvidedMass("muscleName1", 1.2); // muscle1 mass = 1.2 kg
myProbe->useCalculatedMass("muscleName2"); // muscle2 mass is based on muscle properties (below)
myProbe->setDensity("muscleName2", 1100.0); // muscle2 density is 1100 kg/m^3
myProbe->setSpecificTension("muscleName2", 0.26e6); // muscle2 specific tension is 0.26e6 Pa
myProbe->removeMuscle("muscleName3");
myProbe->setOperation("integrate") // See OpenSim::Probe for other operations
Note
It is important to first add the metabolic probe to the model before calling any other methods that may modify its properties. This is because some methods (e.g. addMuscle() or useCalculatedMass) may require information about the muscles to sucsessfully execute, and this information can only be obtained if the metabolic probe is already 'connected' to the model.

Detailed Description

Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe is a Probe ModelComponent for computing the net metabolic energy rate of a set of Muscles in the model during a simulation.

Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe Theory

The discussion here is based on the following papers:

Umberger, B. R. (2010). Stance and swing phase costs in human walking. J R Soc Interface 7, 1329-40.

Umberger, B. R., Gerritsen, K. G. and Martin, P. E. (2003). A model of human muscle energy expenditure. Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin 6, 99-111.

Note that the equations below that describe the particular implementation of Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe may slightly differ from the equations described in the representative publications above. Note also that we define positive muscle velocity to indicate lengthening (eccentric contraction) and negative muscle velocity to indicate shortening (concentric contraction).

Muscle metabolic power (or rate of metabolic energy consumption) is equal to the rate at which heat is liberated plus the rate at which work is done:
Edot = Bdot + sumOfAllMuscles(Adot + Mdot + Sdot + Wdot).

  • Bdot is the basal heat rate (W).
  • Adot is the activation heat rate (W).
  • Mdot is the maintenance heat rate (W).
  • Sdot is the shortening heat rate (W).
  • Wdot is the mechanical work rate (W).

This probe also uses muscle parameters stored in the MetabolicMuscle object for each muscle. The full set of all MetabolicMuscles (MetabolicMuscleSet) is a property of this probe:

  • m = The mass of the muscle (kg).
  • r = Ratio of slow twitch fibers in the muscle (between 0 and 1).

BASAL HEAT RATE (W)

If basal_rate_on is set to true, then Bdot is calculated as follows:
Bdot = basal_coefficient * (m_body^basal_exponent)

  • m_body = mass of the entire model
  • basal_coefficient and basal_exponent are defined by their respective properties.
    Note that this quantity is muscle independant. Rather it is calculated on a whole body level.

ACTIVATION & MAINTENANCE HEAT RATE (W)

If activation_maintenance_rate_on is set to true, then Adot+Mdot is calculated as follows:
Adot+Mdot = [128*(1-r) + 25] * A^0.6 * S , l_CE <= l_CE_opt
Adot+Mdot = (0.4*[128*(1-r) + 25] + 0.6*[128*(1-r) + 25]*F_CE_iso) * A^0.6 * S , l_CE > l_CE_opt

  • A = u , u > a
  • A = (u+a)/2 , u <= a
  • m = The mass of the muscle (kg).
  • l_CE = muscle fiber length at the current time.
  • l_CE_opt = optimal fiber length of the muscle.
  • F_CE_iso = normalized contractile element force-length curve.
  • u = muscle excitation at the current time.
  • a = muscle activation at the current time.
  • S = aerobic/anaerobic scaling factor, defined by the 'aerobic_factor' property (i.e. usually 1.0 for primarily anaerobic activities, 1.5 for primarily aerobic activities).

SHORTENING HEAT RATE (W)

If shortening_rate_on is set to true, then Sdot is calculated as follows:
Sdot = m * (-[(alphaS_slow * v_CE_norm * r) + (alphaS_fast * v_CE_norm * (1-r))] * A^2 * S) , l_CE <= l_CE_opt & v_CE >= 0 (concentric / isometric contraction)
Sdot = m * (-[(alphaS_slow * v_CE_norm * r) + (alphaS_fast * v_CE_norm * (1-r))] * A^2 * S * F_iso) , l_CE > l_CE_opt & v_CE >= 0 (concentric / isometric contraction)
Sdot = m * (alphaL * v_CE_norm * A * S) , l_CE <= l_CE_opt & v_CE < 0 (eccentric contraction)
Sdot = m * (alphaL * v_CE_norm * A * S * F_CE_iso) , l_CE > l_CE_opt & v_CE < 0 (eccentric contraction)

  • A = u , u > a
  • A = (u+a)/2 , u <= a
  • alphaS_fast = 153 / v_CE_max
  • alphaS_slow = 100 / (v_CE_max / 2.5)
  • alphaL = 0.3 * alphaS_slow
  • m = The mass of the muscle (kg).
  • l_CE = muscle fiber length at the current time.
  • l_CE_opt = optimal fiber length of the muscle.
  • F_CE_iso = force that would be developed by the contractile element of muscle under isometric conditions with the current activation and fiber length.
  • v_CE = muscle fiber velocity at the current time.
  • v_CE_max = maximum shortening velocity of the muscle.
  • v_CE_norm = normalized muscle fiber velocity (defined for this model as v_CE/l_CE_opt). Note that this is a different metric to the typical normalized_muscle_fiber_velocity of v_CE/v_CE_max.
  • S = aerobic/anaerobic scaling factor, defined by the 'aerobic_factor' property (i.e. usually 1.0 for primarily anaerobic activities, 1.5 for primarily aerobic activities).

MECHANICAL WORK RATE (W)

If mechanical_work_rate_on is set to true, then Wdot is calculated as follows:
Wdot = -(F_CE * v_CE) , v_CE >= 0 (concentric / isometric contraction)
Wdot = 0 , v_CE < 0 (eccentric contraction)

  • v_CE = muscle fiber velocity at the current time.
  • F_CE = force developed by the contractile element of muscle at the current time.

Note that if enforce_minimum_heat_rate_per_muscle == true AND activation_maintenance_rate_on == shortening_rate_on == true, then the total heat rate (AMdot + Sdot) will be capped to a minimum value of 1.0 W/kg (Umberger(2003), page 104).

Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe_MetabolicMuscleParameter

Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe_MetabolicMuscleParameter is an Object class that holds the metabolic parameters required to calculate metabolic power for a single muscle.

Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe_MetabolicMuscleParameter Properties

REQUIRED PROPERTIES

  • specific_tension = The specific tension of the muscle (Pascals (N/m^2)).
  • density = The density of the muscle (kg/m^3).
  • ratio_slow_twitch_fibers = Ratio of slow twitch fibers in the muscle (must be between 0 and 1).

OPTIONAL PROPERTIES

  • use_provided_muscle_mass = An optional flag that allows the user to explicitly specify a muscle mass. If set to true, the 'provided_muscle_mass' property must be specified. The default setting is false, in which case, the muscle mass is calculated from the following formula: m = (Fmax/specific_tension)*density*Lm_opt, where specific_tension and density are properties defined above (note that their default values are set based on mammalian muscle, 0.25e6 N/m^2 and 1059.7 kg/m^3, respectively); Fmax and Lm_opt are the maximum isometric force and optimal fiber length, respectively, of the muscle.
  • provided_muscle_mass = The user specified muscle mass (kg).

virtual SimTK::Vector OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::computeProbeInputs ( const SimTK::State &  state) const
overridevirtual

Compute muscle metabolic power.

Implements OpenSim::Probe.

const double OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getDensity ( const std::string &  muscleName) const

Get the density for an existing muscle (kg/m^3).

const double OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getMuscleMass ( const std::string &  muscleName) const

Get the muscle mass used in the metabolic analysis.

The value returned will depend on if the muscle mass is explicitly provided (i.e. isUsingProvidedMass = true), or if it is being automatically calculated from muscle data already present in the model (i.e. isUsingProvidedMass = true).

const int OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getNumMetabolicMuscles ( ) const

Get the number of muscles being analysed in the metabolic analysis.

int OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getNumProbeInputs ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the number of probe inputs in the vector returned by computeProbeInputs().

Implements OpenSim::Probe.

virtual OpenSim::Array<std::string> OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getProbeOutputLabels ( ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the column labels of the probe values for reporting.

Currently uses the Probe name as the column label, so be sure to name your probe appropiately!

Implements OpenSim::Probe.

const double OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getRatioSlowTwitchFibers ( const std::string &  muscleName) const

Get the ratio of slow twitch fibers for an existing muscle.

const double OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::getSpecificTension ( const std::string &  muscleName) const

Get the specific tension for an existing muscle (Pascals (N/m^2)).

bool OpenSim::Umberger2010MuscleMetabolicsProbe::isUsingProvidedMass ( const std::string &  muscleName)

Get whether the muscle mass is being explicitly provided.

True means that it is using the property 'provided_muscle_mass' False means that the muscle mass is being calculated from muscle properties.
