[Dog model] Inconsistent values for joint reaction analysis
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2024 6:00 pm
Hi everyone,
I've had an issue for quite some time now and struggle to explain why the joint reaction analysis tool gives me stupidly high values (>15 000N) with the dog model from Stark et al., 2021 (https://simtk.org/projects/dogmodel) through all joints of the left forelimb.
When muscles are included in the SO computation, resultant joint forces are crazily high, whereas when I disable all muscles and only use actuators, the JRFs seem coherent with the ground reaction force. See pictures below
Do you know what is happening here?
I've also attached the model and data I use to run SO and JRF at the same time. Note that I've tried running this using OpenSim 3.3 and 4.4.
I tried one more thing without success but it gives hints to where the analysis may fail. First, I locked all degrees of freedom and iteratively unlocked them from the most distal to the most proximal. The JRF values seemed consistent with GRF until I unlock the dofs between the humerus and the scapula, where everything starts acting weird.
Any thoughts?
Thank you very much
