This video describes the details of the
biomechanical hill muscle model used in the
AnimatLab neuromechanical
and biomechanical simulator. The
hill muscle model is a purely mechanical muscle model built from the systems engineering
perspective. The early pioneers in the field of muscle mechanics knew next to
nothing about the internal structure and functioning of the muscle, so they had
to treat it as a black box and attempted to map the input-output characteristics
of muscle in an effort to formulate a mathematical model that could predict its
overall behavior.
To learn more about hill muscle models then please see the
animatlab documentation. This video describing the hill muscle model is also
directly available on the AnimatLab web site.
