Hello,

I am trying to use the latest Musculoskeletal Model of Head and Neck to simulate a head flexion exertion task in an neutral head-neck posture.

However, I am having issues applying an external load collected from a load cell to the forehead. I don't know how to specify the load directions and the location that the load applied on the forehead. From the website, the tutorial is based on a gait model and therefore the external forces is the ground reaction force which is different from mine and also the .xml or .mot files are all based on the ground reaction force collected from the force plate.

Can somebody please tell me where I can edit the external force, (the direction, the location)?

Thanks

Hello Yu Zhou,

I I have exactly the same doubt as you, have you managed to do it?
If so, I would be very grateful if you could explain to me step by step how to do it.

Thank you in advance.
