Abstract

Human beings need to be able to monitor their muscle health. Muscle health can be assessed by directly measuring its signal using an electromyography sensor or, recently, from a musculoskeletal modeling software such as OpenSIM. OpenSIM is an open-source platform for modeling, simulating, and analyzing the neuromusculoskeletal system. This work aims to simulate muscle forces during squat movement using OpenSIM simulation and validate the results using electromyography sensors attached to the body. The squat movement data generated from the optical motion capture system and the force plate will be used as inputs for the OpenSIM software. OpenSIM can provide output, such as a graph of the working muscle forces. That graph will be compared and analyzed with a surface electromyography sensor results graph. Based on the analysis results, the chart of working muscle forces generated by the OpenSIM software has shown a similar trend to the graph of muscle activity resulting from surface electromyography sensor reading. Therefore, the simulation results from the OpenSIM software were validated, and it was implied that the data collection process and the modeling were done correctly.
