This script is written in Python using scipy and numpy stacks.
It provides a complete descrition of the human knee joint, including, muscles and bones in sagittal axe.
The biomechanics Toolbox model is build using a realistic data and provide a mathematical model of the knee joint.
HumanExoskeletonToolBox.py : provides the geometric models of the knee joint including :
- Quadriceps and Hamstrings muscle group lengths and moments arms
BiomechanicsToolBox.py : provides some Hill-Based muscle models including :
- Quadriceps and Hamstrings muscle group parameters (optimal length, tendon slack length, maximal isometric force, etc).
- EMG driven Hill-Based muscle models.
By using both above files, you can compute :
- individual muscle developped force and torque.
- The net knee joint developped torque and force.
