Estimating muscle forces is crucial for understanding joint dynamics and improving rehabilitation strategies, particularly for patients with neurological disorders who suffer from impaired muscle function. Muscle forces are directly proportional to muscle activations, which can be obtained using electromyography (EMG). EMG-driven modeling estimates muscle forces and joint moments from muscle activations.

Measuring muscle force values in patients with neuromuscular disease is important but challenging. Electromyography (EMG) can be used to obtain muscle activation values, which can be converted to muscle forces and joint torques.
