How can I get the information in the model on defining the spine curvature?

Hi,

How can I get the information in the model on defining the spine curvature for a given posture (flexed and/or rotated trunk)? Which file contains the function on that?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

normally spine curvature is controlled by a kinematic rhythm. You can read about the rhythm on the wiki page:
http://wiki.anyscript.org/index.php/AnyBody_Managed_Model_Repository:_Body_Models#Lumbar_spine

There is also now a possibility to compute this curvature based on the current muscle and external load configuration - you can find it in the example folder of the AMMR v1.3: SpineFixationWithForceDepKinematics

Kind regards,
Pavel
