Multi-Body Dynamic Simulations - EMG-Driven Simulations

Electromyography (EMG) provides an estimate of muscle activation patterns and can be used in both forward and inverse-dynamics calculations to calculate muscle forces and joint moments. We are using this approach to predict muscle forces in lower extremity muscles of individuals with patellofemoral pain.
