9.3 Calculating muscle forces in the leg

This tutorial will take you through a workflow using OpenSim to visualize an Inverse Kinematics (IK) solution, use the Excitation Editor to generate muscle excitations for a forward dynamic simulation, use the Static Optimization Tool to estimate muscle excitations when muscle–tendon dynamics are ignored, and use the Computed Muscle Control (CMC) Tool to estimate muscle excitations in a forward dynamic simulation.  You can get started at: https://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:8443/display/OpenSim/The+Strength+of+Simulation%3A+Estimating+Leg+Muscle+Forces+in+Stance+and+Swing
