This paper develops and validates a multiscale Hill-type neuromuscular actuator against experimental benchmarks of motor unit and muscle force measurements, showing improved accuracy in force reproduction.

This study shows that the functional base of support area decreases with age, correlating with physical performance and frailty in older adults.

This paper introduces a geometric model of the functional base-of-support (fBOS) during standing, showing it improves balance analysis accuracy compared to marker-based models.

This study benchmarks three muscle models in LS-DYNA across force-length-velocity, active-lengthening, and vibration experiments, finding that the VEXAT model outperforms the others in simulating biological muscle behavior.
