Abstract

Existing methods for estimating how individual muscles contribute to a movement require extensive time and experimental resources. In this study we developed an efficient method for determining how changes to lower extremity joint kinematics affect the potential of individual muscles to contribute to whole-body center-of-mass vertical (support) and anteroposterior (progression) accelerations. A 4-link 2-dimensional model was used to assess the effect of kinematic changes on muscle function. Joint kinematics were systematically varied throughout ranges observed during the momentum transfer phase of the sit-to-stand transfer. Each muscle’s potential to contribute to support and progression was computed and compared to simulated potentials estimated by traditional dynamic simulation methods for young adults and individuals with knee osteoarthritis. The new method required 4-10s to compute muscle potentials per kinematic state and computed potentials were consistent with simulated potentials. The new method identified differences in muscle potentials between groups due to kinematic differences, particularly decreased anterior pelvic tilt in young adults, and revealed kinematic and muscle strengthening modifications to increase support. The methods presented provide an efficient, systematic approach to evaluate how joint kinematic adjustments alter a muscle’s ability to contribute to movement and can identify potential sources of pathologic movement and rehabilitation strategies.
