Brown et al. Canine Musculoskeletal Computer Model further flexion as biceps femoris tibial and calcaneal portions stabilized the stifle for ground contact. Conclusion: The musculoskeletal computer model accurately replicated experimental canine angular kinematics associated with gait and was used to predict muscle activation patterns and forces. Thus, musculoskeletal modeling allows for quantification of measures such as muscle forces that are difficult or impossible to measure in vivo.
