muscle maximum force qustion

Provide a comprehensive data set with associated models that will enable researchers to validate musculoskeletal model estimates of muscle and joint contact forces in the knee.

muscle maximum force qustion

Post by yih jung » Tue Sep 29, 2015 7:59 pm

Hello,
I am using 6th Grand Challenge data for my research.
I have some question of calculation methods for activation of each muscle.

1. To calculate the activation, I used “DM_maxEMG.csv” files for the maximum force of each muscle (knee flexor and extensor muscles). “DM_maxEMG.csv” file is real maximum signal data of leg muscles?

2. To calculate the activation during isokinetic trials in “Synchronized Biodex Strength Data”, following methods is right?

Muscle activation = Muscle signal (isokinetic trials)/Peak muscle signal (DM_maxEMG.csv) * 100

Thank you
