Modeling and simulations are useful tools to help understand knee function and injuries. As there are more muscles in the human knee joint than equations of motion, optimization protocols are required to solve a problem. The purpose of this thesis was to improve the biofidelity of these simulations by adding in vivo constraints derived from experimental intra-cortical pin data and stability-inspired objective functions within an OpenSim-Matlab forward-inverse dynamics simulation framework on lower limb muscle activation predictions.\ud Results of this project suggest that constraining the model knee joint’s ranges of motion with pin data had a significant impact on lower limb kinematics, especially in rotational degrees of freedom. This aff...
