Muscle force result correctness

Post by cui jiashuo » Tue Apr 09, 2019 6:02 am

Hello everyone, I am currently doing experiments related to human squatting. I have successfully run RRA and CMC, and I have obtained muscle and muscle metabolism results, but the results calculated by my muscle power are beyond my imagination. How do I know the correctness of the muscle strength results? Is there any reference material?

Which model are you using? You can find some information and links here: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu/d ... tal+Models. Please confirm that you are using the model within the validated range of motion, or that you have performed your own validation for your study.

thank you for your reply. I am using the Gait2392 lower limb musculoskeletal model to simulate human walking. I calculated the maximal muscle strength of the gastrocnemius to be 545N. Is this normal? I feel a bit big.
