Musculo-skeletal mechanics

Section 3

Musculo-skeletal mechanics

Specialist knowledge and understanding of the development of musculo-skeletal models using proprietary or open-source (eg. OpenSim) muculo-skeletal modelling programs to estimate internal forces and effects.

  • Base level – practitioner is familiar with basic features associated with a musculo-skeletal modelling program; required inputs; model outputs; and relevance to biomechanical testing scenarios.
  • Intermediary level – practitioner is capable of incorporating musculo-skeletal modelling into motion capture and forceplate testing pipelines using existing commercial or open-source musculo-skeletal modelling packages to estimate internal forces.
  • Advanced level – practitioner has recognised high-level expertise in utilising and modifying musculo-skeletal programs to allow for bespoke applications.
