  • Summary of Forces on thigh!

    Hi All,

    I posted the the following question on behalf of a
    friend in UK about two weeks ago. I received
    overwhelming e-mails from people who asked me to send
    them a summary of whatever I recieve. on the other
    hand I only received two following responses. in any
    case, I have enclosed them. I thank you all for
    replies.

    Best Regards,

    Alireza Abouhossein

    Question:

    Dear list members,

    I am currently involved with developing a computer
    model for the
    movement of the thigh. I need to simulate the force
    that each muscle exerts
    in order to bring about flexion, extension, abduction
    and adduction. I
    am having a problem with trying to find a model that
    can be used to
    model the muscle. I have the force length, force
    velocity and force
    activation curves(from Winter 1990 and Zajac 1989)
    along with the peak isometric contraction(based on the
    PCSA from Dostal and Andrews 1982)of thigh muscles.
    I also have a Hill type and Huxley type model for the
    muscle mechanics from Zajac and a book called
    Theoretical Consideration of Skeletal Muscle. I am
    just not sure how i would use this information in a
    commercial type package like ADAM to simulate movement
    at the hip joint.

    Hello Alireza,

    This is in response your posting on biomch-l. You
    should be able to perform a simulation of the forces
    of the individual muscles in the thigh during various
    movements using the AnyBody system. You can read more
    about it at http://anybody.auc.dk. We already have a
    pretty good model of the pelvis and lower extremity
    tat could be used for the purpose.

    I would be happy to provide you with more information
    if you are interested.

    Yours sincerely,
    John
