ABSTRACT

Biomechanical models of skeletal muscle are closely related to the research of muscle’s contractile mechanism, and their core significance lies in explaining the dynamic contractile characteristics and phenomena of skeletal muscle, including describing the input–output relations among stimulus intensity, load, contractile force, velocity, and muscle length, as well as predicting muscle force and the corresponding contractile status. Therefore, biomechanical models are applied widely in the biomechanical modeling of human kinetics and hold important merits in biomedical engineering (diagnosis, rehabilitation, etc.) related to musculoskeletal system.
