Re: Why is muscle force from static optimization and Actuation analyses different?

Thank you.
My confusion is how does muscle absorb energy? What happens to the absorbed energy? The problem I am facing is that I cannot imagine how it happens physically. Thank you.

Why is muscle force from static optimization and Actuation analyses different?

Hello 1. I used SO to find muscle forces and activation. But when I was trying to find muscle power using the Analyze tool, I found that the muscle forces from that simulation is different from that of SO. Why are they different? Is it the correct method to find the muscle power during one particula...

Re: What is the difference between muscle activation and EMG?

How can I compare Activation to EMG or can I convert Activation to EMG?

Thank you

What is the difference between muscle activation and EMG?

Hello
I was going through the paper by Darryl G. Thelen (Adjustment of Muscle Mechanics Model Parameters to simulate Dynamic Contractions in Older Adults 2003) and I noticed that muscle activation and EMG are different. Is it applicable to Opensim also?

Thank you

Re: Can I use Analyze tool to get muscle forces?

Thank you.
What does 'MuscleAnalysis_Active Fiber Force' file contains? I got this as a result from the analyze tool.
Thank you

Can I use Analyze tool to get muscle forces?

Hello. I was using analyze(Force reporter, JointReaction) to find the muscle forces and joint reactions for a particular motion. But the values I get are a bit big. (around 30,000) What is the reason behind it? How can I get this result in N. Also, where can I find details about the output files? Th...

How can I add force to analyze tool using Matlab scripting.

I want to add external force to the model. How do I add the xml file that contains the force details to the model when I am using matlab? analyzeTool.setName(name); analyzeTool.setResultsDir(results_folder); analyzeTool.setCoordinatesFileName([ik_results_folder motIKCoordsFile]); analyzeTool.setInit...

Muscle forces are spikes from SO result

The muscle force plot I got from SO are spikes. Why is it not a continuous graph?

High postion error in CMC

Hello I was using CMC tool and the result motion is completely different from the input motion. Then I found that there is a very high position error in the model. (As high as 45 degree.) What are the reasons for it? How can I reduce it? I am using the model from "MoBL-ARMS OpenSim tutorial_33". I a...
