Musculoskeletal Model of the Upper Limb Based on the Visible Human Male Dataset

摘要: A mathematical model of the human upper limb was developed based on high-resolution medical images muscles and bones obtained from Visible Human Male (VHM) project. Three-dimensional surfaces were reconstructed Computed Tomography (CT) Color Cryosection VHM cadaver. Thirteen degrees freedom used to describe orientations seven in model: clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, carpal bones, hand. All major articulations shoulder girdle down wrist included model. The actuated by 42 muscle bundles, which represented actions 26 groups limb. paths modeled using a new approach called Obstacle-set Method [33]. calculated verified comparing moment arms computed with results anatomical studies reported literature. In-vivo measurements maximum isometric torques at shoulder, elbow, also estimate architectural properties each musculotendon actuator entire musculoskeletal can be data given this paper, along information presented companion paper defines kinematic structure [26].
