What is the relationship between muscle activation of leg and metabolic rate.
I have provided path actuator. I got less metabolic rate result but my muscle activation hasn't not reduced.
I want to reduce muscle activation but in static muscle activation opensim provide strong actuator file in thea there is 100 N optimal force.
For gait 2354 model , I have provided path actuator with 15N optimal force but I didn't get the less reduction of muscle activation and angles (Hip-knee-ankle) so what is the reason.
There were no effect on angles and muscle activation.
also what is the muscle activation pattern for stroke patients.
Please help.
