muscle-driven dynamic simulations (muscle activation)
I am wondering how OpenCap utilizes muscle-driven dynamic simulations to calculate muscle activity. I recently came across your article- OpenCap: Human movement dynamics from a smart phone. Is OpenCap able to predict muscle activity? I use EMGs, and we typically take MVCs to standardize it, but I was wondering if OpenCap standardizes it, or based on the paper it appears that the software takes generalized measurements. I am a bit unclear, and would like more information if you would be able to point me in the correct direction. Thanks!

Re: muscle-driven dynamic simulations (muscle activation)
Hello,
We use dynamic optimization to estimate muscle activity. These papers might be a good starting point:
- https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/ ... bi.1008493
- https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/ ... .2019.0402
Best,
Antoine
