Dear all,
i want to develop a 2DOF (shoulder flexion/extension, elbow flexion/extension) musculoskeletal system with 6 muscles (PC, DP, Bra, Bsh, Trilat, Trilong) using Virtual Muscle and MSMS.
I tried to implement my model on the basis of the paper "Model-based sensorimotor integration for multi-joint control: development of a virtual arm model." but my model isn't stable and so i'm not able to use it.
I think that in literature are reported muscle parameters used in musculoskeletal systems with at lest 15 muscles and so they cannot be used in a system with 6 muscles.
What do you think about that? Are the parameters the same even if the number of muscles changes?
Can anyone help me?
