A monte carlo analysis of muscle force estimation sensitivity to muscle-tendon properties using a hill-based muscle model

In this study, we used Monte-Carlo simulations to evaluate the sensitivity of Hill-based model muscle forces to changes in 11 parameters in the muscle-tendon unit morphological properties and in the model force-length and force-velocity relationships. We decomposed the force variability and ranked the sensitivity of the model to the underlying parameters using the Variogram Analysis of Response Surfaces.
