Full body model with external loads on hands
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2009 1:50 am
Dear all,
I am interested in developing a full-body model to compute inverse and forward dynamics on a full-body model during gait with hands leaned on a support.
I will be able to measure external forces and moments on hands and feet.
I was thinking to start from the standard SIMM full-body model, importing it in OpenSim, but I have just read on the User's Guide (p. 178) that external loads can be applied to max 2 bodies while performing Inverse Dynamics analysis.
Is there any possibility to overcome the problem?
I would also would like to know if there is anybody working with a full-body model in OpenSim.
Thank you very much in advance,
Davide Conte
