Abstract

Musculoskeletal models and computer simulations have been extensively developed in recent years. The purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of uncertainty in segment masses on joint torques and muscle forces. Segment mass uncertainties estimated on the basis of Dempster measurement have been introduced to the musculoskeletal model Gait 2392. Inverse dynamics, static optimization and CMC algorithm have been performed using OpenSim software. The segment mass uncertainty has limited effect on the net joint moments. However, the error propagation in proximal direction have been observed and the greatest impact was observed for residual moments and forces acting on pelvis. The greatest effect on muscle forces can be observed for both static optimization and CMC results. Furthermore, considerable differences can be seen between static optimization and CMC results. Therefore, an accurate estimation of muscles forces and load condition in musculoskeletal system is still posing a challenge.
