Modeling of Human Quadriceps Muscles and Design of a Magnetorheological Fluid-based Muscle Strengthening Device, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Farahmand, Farzam (Supervisor) ; Behzadi Poor, Saeed (Supervisor)
Abstract
The Quadriceps Muscle as one of the major muscles of the human body plays a key role in knee function. Strengthening of this muscle is recommanded to prevent knee pain and even cure some diseases. Many believe that by strengthening the medial part with respect to the lateral part of the quadriceps muscles, patellofemoral pain syndrome can be prevented or treated. In this regard, a muscle strengthening system, based on magneticorheological brake is designed which provides isometric, isotonic and isokinetic exercise of knee joint and also enables the selective muscle strengthening. Beforehand a musculoskeletal model of lower extremity is developed in OpenSim software, capable to estimate force...
