Detailed Description

This function is a muscle modeling utility class that simulates dynamics of muscle force development as a function of input excitation.

Though it has been long been assumed that a second-order, critically damped filter models the twitch response of muscle very accurately (Bellmare et al.) first order models have persisted in the literature. Zajac originally chose to use first order, rather than second order equations in an effort to reduce simulation times. First order activation dynamics were later popularized in two influential muscle modeling papers by Winters in 1995, and later by Thelen in 2003. Computing power is far greater today than it was at the time Zajac wrote his influential muscle modeling paper, and so it makes sense to include activation dynamics that more closely match the experimental literature.

The figure shows that there are very large differences in the impulse response between a first order system (filled gray area), and Bellmare et al.'s experimental data (thick gray line). The first order system has an instantaneous rise time, reaches a peak value when the impulse terminates (in 0 time). Additionally the impulse response of the second order system is orders of magnitude higher than the second order system (peaking at a value of just under 0.01), and so, its peak is not shown in the figure. The second order system peaks at the same time as Bellmare et al.'s experimental data, and then slowly decays. These plots suggest that a second order system decays far slower than the experiments indicate.

The quality of match between the second order model and the experimental data can be improved by having separate time constants for rising ( \(\dot{a} > 0\)) and falling ( \(\dot{a} < 0\)). This small change can be easily incorporated into a canonical second order ODE of a damped system with a forced input where \(a\) is activation, \(\zeta\) is damping, \(\omega\) is the natural frequency of the system, \(\mu\) is excitation (bounded by 0 and 1).

\[ \ddot{a} + 2 \zeta \omega \dot{a} + \omega^2 a = \omega^2\mu \]

For a critically damped system \(\zeta = 1\). To obtain a quicker rate of decay a the value of \(\omega\) changes depending on the sign of \(\dot{a}\):

if \(\dot{a}>0\)

\[ \omega = \frac{1}{T} \]

else if \(\dot{a}<0\)

\[ \omega = \frac{2}{T} \]

where \( T \) is the contraction time of the muscle. Values of \( T \) vary from muscle to muscle, depending mainly on their fiber composition.

Although the above second order system approximates the twitch response of muscle very well, it has a lower bound of 0. The conventional muscle model formulation requires that activation smoothly approach a lower bound that is above zero. This can be achieved by rescaling activation, and the lower bound:

\[ \hat{a} = \frac{a}{1-a_{min}} \]

\[ \hat{a}_{min} = \frac{a_{min}}{1-a_{min}} \]

Substituting in the rescaled activation and lower bound into the second order system yields

\[ \ddot{a}+2\zeta\omega\dot{a}+\omega^2(\hat{a}-\hat{a}_{min})=\omega^2\mu \]

This is the activation dynamic equation that this class implements as it matches Bellmare et al.'s experimental data quite well, and has a user-settable lower bound.

Default

The default time to peak (or twitchTimeConstant) is 0.050 seconds. This is on the faster end of skeletal muscles. Bellmare et al. reported values of 0.0657, 0.071 and 0.116 for the biceps brachii, adductor pollicis, and the soleus respectively.

◆ MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel() [1/2]

OpenSim::MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel::MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel	(	double	twitchTimeConstant,
		double	minActivation,
		const std::string &	muscleName
	)

Parameters

twitchTimeConstant	The time-to-peak, in seconds, in response to an impulse.
minActivation	The minimum activation allowed. Equilibrium muscle models might set this value to be between 0.01-0.1, as they have a singularity when a = 0. Muscle models that don't have a singularity at a=0 will set minActivation to be 0. (Unitless).
muscleName	The name of the muscle that this activation object belongs to. This string is used to create useful exception messages.

Conditions

    0 < twitchTime 
    0 <= minActivation < 1

Computational Cost

    ~15 flops

		double	activation,
		double	excitation
	)		const

Parameters

dactivation_dt	The derivative of activation
excitation	The excitation signal being sent to the muscle (Unitless, [0,1]). This value will be clamped between 0 and 1-minActivation.
activation	The current activation of the muscle(Unitless [0,1]) This value will be clamped to its permitted range between minActivation and 1.

◆ clone()

MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel* OpenSim::MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

inline

Get the value of the twitch_time_constant property.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::MuscleSecondOrderActivationDynamicModel::getConcreteClassName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.
