Ankle sprain simulation controllers

[Ricardo Lameira]

Hello,

'm studying ankle sprain, for this I am using a inversion trapdoor (with forward dynamics). Posteriorly I built the controller plugin. Which controllers should I use for this simulation? The study focuses on the muscles soleus, peroneal long, short peroneal and anterior tibial.

You may want to check out this SimTK project, which includes models, controllers, and simulation results: "Evertor and invertor muscle co-activation prevents ankle inversion injury" (https://simtk.org/projects/ankle-sprains).

Hello,

Is it not possible to access the publisher about the controllers?


thank you
