Hi,
Thank you for some people who gave me some comments
and resources the other day, and it seems I would need
to do some experiments to determine which moment arm
calculation method would be the most appropriate for
my program.
Anyway, I would like to ask about the relationship
between joint torque, moment arm, and muscle forces.
>From "Creating and retargetting motion by the
musculoskeletal human body model" by Komura et al.,
the relationship is defined as
"the torque of joint i is the sum of the cross product
of the moment arm and the force of each muscle
crossing that joint", or
torque(i) = sigma(r(j) X f(j))
r: moment arm
f: muscle force
If I want to find the moment arm and muscle force
based on the torque as input, I think it will generate
underdetermined equations (written on that paper too).
I wonder if anyone has a solution or comments for that
? Perhaps on the relationship itself?
Thank you in advance,
Sindharta T.
