Conventional musculoskeletal models mainly consist of bones modeled by rigid linkages, and muscles, tendons, and ligaments modeled by ideal wires. The lack of volumetric modeling of muscle makes a representation of interaction between muscles and natural muscle pathway difficult. This difficulty results in a physiologically inappropriate estimation of a muscle momentum arm that is critical for a muscle activity estimation. In this letter, we develop a volumetric skin-musculoskeletal model based on an anatomographic human shape database to improve an estimation of a muscle momentum arm. A volumetric deformation of surface skin and muscle is realized by an extended skeleton subspace deformation (SSD, the linear blend skinning algorithm) that considers a surface profile of bone with low computational cost. This extended SSD considers a sub-bone that is projected to the bone surface polygon so that the skin and muscle deformation is significantly affected by the bone surface profile. The surface-based SSD realized the natural skin deformation avoiding a penetration between skin and bones during trunk rotation that results in a physiologically appropriate estimation of a muscle momentum arm. The volumetric skin-musculoskeletal model and the surface-based SSD estimates the momentum arm of vastus lateralis with 14.1% maximum error from a literature values, though there is 44.8% maximum error with the wire musculoskeletal model. This model would accurize a muscle activity estimation that leads to a more correct understanding of human motion control/generation mechanisms.
