Can an OpenSim simulation include maintenance of posture?
Muscles are activated even when there's no movement, to maintain posture, balance etc., or to stabilise or prevent unwanted movement when some other movement in the body occurs. Will a simulation take into account the muscles activated for this purpose?
eg of an inverse problem: I'd like to know which muscles my model are firing just in standing position, without movement. By extension, I'd like to compare how these activation patterns are different for another model with scoliosis.
Is this possible?
