Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Recent work in musculoskeletal modelling has seen the use of models which represent individual muscles in the human system. This paper presents a model of forearm supination in which models generate specific muscular forces to produce external supinator torque. The model output is compared to measured external torque for isometric and dynamic loading conditions. These data are used to construct isometric torque-angle and torque-angular velocity graphs for both model and experimental output. The discussion focuses on specific topics regarding implementation of muscle models in applied situations. These topics are demonstrated by observing the effect of parameter alteration on model output.
