Optimization
After scaling the model in OpenSim, optimization techniques can be applied to further enhance the performance of a cyclist. Here are some ways optimization can be used:
Muscle Force Optimization
Joint Angle Optimization
Biomechanical Parameter Estimation
Optimization is a method for estimating muscle activations and muscle forces that satisfy the positions, velocities, accelerations, and external forces of a motion. As with any analysis or simulation, the quality of the Optimization results largely depends on the inputs: the model, motion, and forces. Optimization is trying to compute muscle forces that generate the accelerations seen in the input kinematics.
