Abstract:
A new method to reconstruct comparatively complete muscle model of human lower limb from CT and MRI data is presented. Topological structure of more than fourteen muscles is built and the coordinates of origin and insertion points are given. Based on this model, straight-line model and centroid-line muscle model are acquired. Muscle force prediction is discussed according to the model reconstructed, and a multi-objective optimization method is put forward for evaluating muscle forces of human lower extremity.
