Abstract: | Non-linear optimisation, such as the type presented by R.D. Crowninshield and R.A. Brand The prediction of forces in joint structures: Distribution of intersegmental resultants, Exercise Sports Sci. Rev. 9 (1981) 159], has been frequently used to obtain a unique set of muscle forces during human or animal movements. In the past, analytical solutions of this optimisation problem have been presented for single degree-of-freedom models, and planar models with a specific number of muscles and a defined musculoskeletal geometry. Results of these studies have been generalised to three-dimensional problems and for general formulations of the musculoskeletal geometry without corresponding proofs. Here, we extend the general solution of the above non-linear, constrained, planar optimisation problem to three-dimensional systems of arbitrary geometry. We show that there always exists a set of intersegmental moments for which the given static optimisation formulation will predict co-contraction of a pair of antagonistic muscles unless they are exact antagonists. Furthermore, we provide, for a given three-dimensional system consisting of single joint muscles, a method that describes all the possible joint moments that give co-contraction for a given pair of antagonistic muscles. |
