The orientation of the muscle Forces?

Hi All,
I would like to know if the muscle forces that are estimated by using CEINMS are parallel to the muscle line of action for each muscle?

Thank you.
Aseel

Hi Aseel,

the short answer is yes, as CEINMS only estimates the magnitude of the force, which is function of the musculotendon length and muscle excitation.

Cheers
