Muscle power

[Emiliano Ravera]

Hi all,
I am working in my PhD Thesis and need obtain the muscle power of the lower limb, and I am using the model Gait2392. I have seen that is possible to obtain these results using the CMC, but it is not clear to see the method used to find the muscle power.

Is the same method that describe Zajac et al. in your paper, "Biomechanics and muscle coordination of human walking Part I: Introduction to concepts, power transfer, dynamics and simulations (Journal of Biomechanics, 2002)" ?.

Thank you very much,

Regards

Emiliano

Hi Emiliano,

You can measure and report muscle power by adding probes to the model. The description can be found here "http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... Sim/Probes".

Let us know how it goes,

Thank you so much James,
I am starting to work on this issue, and I will tell you my experience.
