Abstract

The goal of this study is to estimate the force acting on the knee joint in the human body by using the Hilltype muscle model based on a musculoskeletal model of the human lower extremity in the sagittal plane. For estimating the force applied, the human leg is modeled using multi-body modeling. This leg model comprises biarticular muscles acting on two joints of the upper and lower limbs, and the muscles include some of the major muscles such as the hamstring. In order to analyze the uncertainty of the applied forces acting on the knee joint, statistical distributions of human body, leg part, parameters are required and to obtain the parameter's statistical characteristic of the part sample survey method is employed. Finally, by using the sensitivity information of the parameters, the force acting on the knee joint can be estimated.

본 연구에서는 인체의 하지부를 다물체 시스템으로 모델링하여 무릎관절에 걸리는 구속력의 불확실성을 추정하였다. 일반적으로 근육의 기계적인 특성은 Hill-type muscle model 이 사용되며 여기에 적용되는 인체의 특성과 해부학적인 데이터는 지난 십 수년 동안 크게 발전되었다. 그러나 정확하게 그것들을 안다는 것은 불가능하며 개인마다 다른점을 고려해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 Hill-type muscle model 과 함께 인체의 해부학적인 데이터를 통계 방법론을 이용하여 무릎 관절에 걸리는 구속력의 불확실성을 추정하였다. 초기 앉아있는 자세에서 일어서는 과정에서 작용하는 구속력을 추정하였으며 이때 인체 하지 근육의 특성을 musculoskeleton-actuator 를 이용하여 해석하였다.
