Hello fellow BIOMCH-L readers,
I wonder if someone out there can be of assistance. I am trying to
create scaleable musculoskeletal
models for simulation purposes. In order to do this, I require use of
PCSA to obtain an estimate
of peak isometric force. Unfortunately, when reporting the PCSA, most
do not record the circuference
or total cross-sectional area of segments. I was wondering if anyone
out there has a solution to
the problem of estimating PCSA for individual muscles given an
individuals anthropometry (ie. limb
circumference at various levels, or other dimensions).
Regards,
