Abstract
This paper presents a method and a set of detailed musculoskeletal models for estimation of individual muscle forces for a given movement based on inverse dynamics. The basic methodology and the construction of the human body model library are presented and examples of prediction and validation of muscle forces in the mandible and the neck are given. Furthermore it is demonstrated how musculoskeletal models give insight into the motor control from a functional point of view. The paper concludes that motor control changes and biomechanics are dependent on each other and musculoskeletal models can help us to understand changes in muscle coordination and muscle force for different kinds of situations.
