Adjusting Muscle Forces

I want to increase the strength of some muscles in the 2392 Gait Model. In order to do so, do I need to adjust the "max_isometric_force" feature in the properties window of that particular muscle? Also, how do I know how much to adjust the feature by?

Yep.

That is a decision you have to make. If you want to make the model 50% stronger, you should multiple each muscles Max Isometric Strength by 1.5.
