Muscle Parameters

I am working with OpenSim on modeling the lateral human eye movement. I need the muscle parameters for the Lateral Rectus and Medial Rectus muscles such as:

1. Maximum isometric force of the muscle fiber.
2. Optimal length of the muscle fibers
3. Resting length of the tendon
4. Pennation angle
5. Muscle activation time constant
6. Muscle deactivation time constant
7. Maximum contraction velocity at full activation
8. Maximum contraction velocity at low activation
9. Tendon strain
10. Passive muscle strain
11. Shape factor for Gaussian active muscle force-length relationship
12. Exponential shape factor for passive force-length relationship
13. Passive damping in the force-velocity relationship
14. Force velocity shape factor
15. Maximum normalized lengthening force.

I have been reading several research papers modeling eye movement. I was able to get average values only for a few parameters.
Would you recommend any references where I can find the required parameters of the extraocular muscles, or find a guide on how to compute them?

Thank you,
