Investigation and empirical evaluation of inputs to optimization-based biomechanical trunk models

This dissertation investigated the ability of optimization-based biomechanical models to predict torso muscular activity. Two optimization models were considered: the Minimum Intensity Compression (MIC) model and the Sum of the Cubed Intensities (SCI) model. For each model, two sets of muscle geomet...
