Abstract

The simulation of musculoskeletal models of the human’s body provides critical information about the locomotion mechanism. This information can be used to predict abnormalities and to provide mechanical solution at different levels of human body bio-mechanical structure: muscle system, joint system, bone system etc.
The aim of this paper is to analyze a Multibody system representing the musculoskeletal system of the lower limb in order to determine forces and moments of forces. To achieve this, we have applied an inverse dynamic analysis to an open source kinematic model from OpenSim aiming to calculate the joint’s reaction during gait.
