A Matlab toolbox for scaled-generic modeling of shoulder and elbow.

ABSTRACT: There still remains a barrier ahead of widespread clinical applications of upper extremity musculoskeletal models. This study is a step toward lifting this barrier for a shoulder musculoskeletal model by enhancing its realism and facilitating its applications. To this end, two main improvements are considered. First, the elbow and the muscle groups spanning the elbow are included in the model. Second, scaling routines are developed that scale model's bone segment inertial properties, skeletal morphologies, and muscles architectures according to a specific subject. The model is also presented as a Matlab toolbox with a graphical user interface to exempt its users from further programming. We evaluated effects of anthropometric parameters, including subject's gender, height, weight, glenoid
