Hi,

I have a Question concerning the muscle activations, controls and actuation force. I used the model Gait2354 and performed a gait Simulation. The I performed CMC and plotted actuations, controls and Forces. I got the results which are attached below. I wanted to compare the activations to the EMG results of a book but they do not match. Is this because of the implementation of the Thelen muscle?


Thank you in Advance.

Kind regards
Pia
