Hill’s and Huxley’s muscle models - tools for simulations in biomechanics

Abstract: Numerous mathematical models of human skeletal muscles have been developed. However, none of them is adopted as a general one and each of them is suggested for some specific purpose. This topic is essential in humanoid robotics, since we firstly need to understand how human moves and acts in order to exploit human movement patterns in robotics and design human like actuators. Simulations in biomechanics are intensively used in research of locomotion, safe human-robot interaction, development of novel robotic a… Show more

“…Considering that the musculoskeletal system of the upper limb is a nonlinear model, Hill’s muscle model and the passive joint structure model are convenient for use in such research [ 18 , 19 ]. One of the challenges when using Hill’s muscle model and passive joint structure is the estimation of the model parameters, which are the physical parameters of the muscles and tendons themselves, as well as the parameters that describe the characteristics of their behavior during movement.…”

“…Nonlinear models of the human arm require modeling of the musculoskeletal system, which is predominantly based on Hill’s muscle model and the passive joint structure model [ 18 , 19 ]. This model uses the muscle activation of the antagonistic muscle pair as the input parameter, whereby the muscle activation is estimated using EMG signals of antagonistic muscles during targeted movement.…”

“…The analysis of the muscle contraction process energy balance requires to go through the sarcomere's micro muscle stage and a short explanation of the actin-myosin binding process. The trajectories of force and muscle length over time have been proven to be smoother and more relevant in the case of using Huxley's muscle model rather than Hill's model, which proves that microscopic level modeling is more suitable [9]. The muscle contraction cycle is directly linked to the ATP hydrolysis mechanism, which is the major source of energy consumed.…”

“…Thus, the tensile forces of muscles can be represented as follows:FM=F0batruel˙truel˙+b,where F M is the vector of the tensile forces of muscles; l˙ is the vector of the contraction velocities of muscles; F 0 is the vector of the maximum isometric forces; a is the vector of the coefficients of contraction heat; b equals av 0 / F 0 ; and v 0 is the vector of the maximum velocities when F M = 0. Based on the experiences and achievements of previous studies [36], the empirical constants can be calculated as follows:a=0.25F0,b=0.25v0.…”
