How Tendon Compliance Affects the Metabolic Cost of Running

We investigated the effect of tendon compliance on the metabolic cost of running using a full-body musculoskeletal model with a detailed model of muscle energetics. We performed muscle-driven simulations of running at several speeds and tendon compliances, and computed the average metabolic power consumed by each muscle. We used modeling and simulation to gain insight into the energy consumed by individual muscles throughout the gait cycle. We compared trends observed in muscle activations, metabolic power, and fiber mechanical power over a broad range of tendon compliances and at four running speeds. <br/><br/>This project includes the following software/data packages: <br/> <ul> <li> <a href="https://simtk.org/frs?group_id=1064#pack_1811">Supporting data </a> : Please unzip and see README.md for details. </li> </ul>

本研究采用包含肌肉能量学详细模型的全身肌肉骨骼模型，探究了肌腱顺应性对跑步代谢成本的影响。我们进行了多种速度和肌腱顺应性条件下的跑步肌肉驱动模拟，并计算了每块肌肉的平均代谢功率。通过建模与仿真，我们深入分析了单个肌肉在整个步态周期中的能量消耗。我们对比了在广泛肌腱顺应性范围内及四种跑步速度下，肌肉激活、代谢功率和纤维机械功率的观察趋势。本课题涉及以下软件/数据包：
