Commercially available software packages permit to posmon human models of various geometries in practical scenarios while respecting the anatomical constraints of the skeletal joints and of the bulk of the bodies. Beyond such features, the PAM-Comfort" software has been conceived to provide direct access to the muscular forces needed by humans to perform physical actions where muscle force is required. The PAM-Comfort™ human models are made of multi-body linked anatomical skeletons, equipped with finite elements ofthe relevant skeletal muscles. The hyper-static problem of determination of muscle forces is solved by optimisation techniques. Voluntary stiffening of muscles can be added to the basic contraction levels needed to perform a specific task. The calculated muscle forces obey Hill's model. The model and software have been applied in several interesting scenarios of various fields of application, such as car industry, handling of equipment and sports activities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
