Musculoskeletal model during isokinetic knee motion;Simulation and Experiment

슬관절 등속 운동시 하지근육구동모델;모의실험과 임상실험

This study validated the musculoskeletal model of the human lower extremity by comparative study between calculated muscle parameters through simulation using modified hill-type model and measured them through isokinetic exercise. And the relationship between muscle forces and moments participated in motion was quantified from the results of simulation. For simulation of isokinetic motion, a three-dimensional anatomical knee model was constructed using trials of gait analysis and the EMG-force model was used to determine muscle activation level exciting muscles. The modified Hill-type model was used to calculate individual muscle forces and moments in dynmaic analysis and the results were validated by comparing them of experiments on BIODEX. The results showed that there was a high correlation between calculated torques from simulation and measured them from experiments for isokinetic motion(R=0.97). Therefore we concluded that the simulation by using musculoskeletal model was so useful means to predict and convalesce musculoskeletal-related diseases, and analyze unrealizable experiment such as clash condition.
