Hi;
I am a PhD student in Biomedical Enstitute of Bogazici University in Turkey.I am working on a detailed musculoskeletal knee model by using ADAMS and Lifemod softwares. I want to try one equivalent resultant force to represent knee extensors for simplicity at the beginning. Unfortunately i could not reach the curve equation of length-force relationship of knee extensor musculo-tendon structure for passive stretch.
I would like to represent the knee extensor muscles as one resultant knee extensor spring-damper so i need stiffness and damping coefficients of passive muscle tendon combination or i can directly drive the force length curve function into ADAMS software.
Any help will be appriciated
Thanks
