Dear Rene!
A big problem of simualting human movement are redundant and multi-joint
muscles. They are obviously important, because the evolution likes them. But
inverse dynamics cannot handle them correctly. A second problem are the
joints: Human aren't able to walk with hinge joints in the knee (there are
some surprising tests with people using knee prosthetics: They jump and run
with stabilized 4 axes mechanisms and fall down awkwardly with single axis
hinge joint models). The hinge joint is "unstable", this means that a
straight leg tends to bend, while the flattend levels of real knee joints
lead to a plateau in the potential energy, which straightens a straight
attitude.
When computing the motion these instabilities seem to be the source for the
differences between forward and backward simulation with identical controls.
It's a problem of accuracy of the computer, and, in my opinion, it would be
a general problem for a control mechanism.
This is not the wanted answer, I'm afraid, but I ask some coworkers who are
doing dynamic optimization of human walking for better replies!
