Hello,
How do CMC muscle activations work/what does their amplitude mean? i.e. what does an activation of 1 mean? Is it MVC for example, or what?
I am trying to compare the muscle controls with EMG data (which is normalized to the maximum during gait), but I have no idea as to how the amplitudes should compare.
Also, control constraints can be used to turn off a muscle; but how to (force) turn on a muscle?
Any thoughts?
Thank you

Please see the Muscle Model Theory and Publications documentation page (https://opensimconfluence.atlassian.net ... blications) to better understand how activation is defined by these models.
