Muscle force prediction method considering the role of antagonistic muscle based on a coupled spring model

The prediction of muscle forces is very important in order to evaluate the physical loads during human motion. Although a number of musculoskeletal models, which can predict muscle forces during motion, have been proposed, these models use the optimization method, in which the sum of the predicted m...
