Scaling

Provide a musculoskeletal model of the full thoracolumbar spine and rib cage for researchers to use in their investigations of spine and thorax kinematics and dynamics.

Scaling

Post by Fatemeh Alavi » Wed Apr 20, 2022 8:17 am

Hi,

To scale height and weight of FullBodyModel_v2.0_OS4, I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide me with "setup_scale.xml" file.

Thanks,
Fatemeh

Fatemeh,
I would suggest using the GUI to construct your own setup file. The 'how to' from OpenSim (link above) should give provide enough information for you to scale by height and mass.
If you can't figure it out, let me know. Best,
Jake Banks

Thanks for your reply.
I have other question regarding sacrum angle. In opensim model, the rotation angle of sacrum relative to the pelvis/ground is zero, however, anatomically sacrum edge makes an angle to the ground (sacral slop), which also can be seen in GUI. Although the sacral slop seems to be about 20 degree graphically, in one of your group's papers it is mentioned to be 42 degree. I'd appreciate it if you let me know this value for the full body generic model.

Thanks,
Fatemeh
