A comparison among different Hill-type contraction dynamics formulations for muscle force estimation

F. Romero and F. J. Alonso

Mech. Sci., 7, 19–29, https://doi.org/10.5194/ms-7-19-2016,https://doi.org/10.5194/ms-7-19-2016, 2016

Short summary

In this work we analyze the main differences in muscle force production between the three different and widely used Hill-type muscle models (Soest and Bobbert, Silva-Kaplan and Thelen). As this work shows, there are slight differences between the obtained muscle efforts that arise from the assumptions made on each model. The computational effort or the control of the parameters involved in the experiments may determine the use of any of these descriptions of muscle tissue.
