Clinical Validation of Estimated Muscle Activations during Phases of Elderly Gait

Clinical Validation of Estimated Muscle Activations during Phases of Elderly Gait

This study validated muscle activation estimations generated by OpenSim during the gait of elderly fallers. Ten healthy elderly participants walked on an instrumented treadmill, monitored by motion capture, force platforms, and 12 surface EMG sensors. Static optimization was used to calculate muscle...
