From motion capture to muscular activity in lower limb models


Abstract :

This tutorial presents the different steps in the musculoskeletal analysis of a human motion. We will start from the description of the data acquisition (mocap, emg...) and end by solving muscle activity estimation. The software used is OpenSim. Tutorial material and instructions are available here.
