Help with prosthetics in OpenSim
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2015 3:11 am
Hi,
I am working on the contribution of muscles in amputees performing different locomotive tasks. I have a query with regard to attaching the transfemoral prosthetic device to the lower limb musculoskeletal model and I would really appreciate it if you help me out, please.
I have been working on OpenSim in order to simulate transfemoral amputees activity, however, I am not successful to attach the lower limb prosthetic device with the musculoskeletal model to simulate activity of daily livings (level ground walking/stair ascending/descending etc). In addition, it was observed from one of the videos in youtube by Christian Silva (link below) that it seems possible. I would like to know if this is the way that it must be implemented. Is there any guidelines or tips in this regard.
